I'd really like a Commonwealth Firefly, Cromwell, updated carrier and a variety of ground troops. As for the opposition, German paras would be a welcome addition along with a Pz. IV, Pak40, and armoured cars.

Hi Rob, I would be happy for an easy month as I have been spending a fair bit on retired US sets on ebay etc lately. But if pressed, I hope to see yet more Waffen SS in Camo gear

As you know I mainly concentrated on German vehicles because they were in the majority. Then K & C started to release a lot of US sets based on BoB and D-Day and I started buying the odd one as I thought I would have time to catch up. Then Andy C decided to retire terrific little sets like the M-5 prime mover and M-24 which has made me go a bit mad chasing stuff on Ebay. Here's what I have bought in the last few weeks:

HB Amphibious Jeep (to go with mu DUKW and LTV-4/Buffalo that I intend one day to change from Marines to Western Front coloration)
K & C Scout Car (US Markings)
Mortar Halftrack
M-10 US Winter version
M-24 Chaffee
Dodge Truck with water tank trailer (Simmo wouldn't part with his - he's so selfish )

All of those are excellent vehicles Oz.I have those except the HB Jeep,which looks a very nice model and a good idea to have it with the DUKW.I wanted both versions of the Chaffee but lack of dosh meant i just got the winter version,very nice it is too.The mortar half track is another great release,congrats on adding so many great vehicles to your collection in short order.How addictive are K&C vehicles???

I decided to get the D-Day (Summer) Chaffee because I can just rub some chalk on the olive drab vehicles to blend them into Winter displays. Lately I have also been buying more books about the US Army on the western front, that Osprey Campaign series is a handy size for reading in bed.

Actually Oz i think Osprey are doing 20% off Campaign series this month,i think they are very good for giving a brief overview of the subject.

The whisper I heard from Hong Kong was that May would not have any new releases, but K&C would continue with new releases next month. The big news this month will be a massive amount of retirements. Especially in the WWII range.

[johngambale]

It won't be Long before you will see the NEW WW2 N.africa AUSTRALIANS, and ITALIANS, and possible MORE Ramcke's Brigade! And they're Not Coming from K&C, CS,HB, and Not Figarti! CIAO!

 

[jazzeum]

John,

Hate to burst your bubble but K & C just released the EA band, Churchill, etc. It wouldn't seem likely that we'll see Desert War immediately afterwards.
