“The Desert War” fought between 1940 and 1943 in the harsh, unyielding environment of North Africa is one of K&C’s most collected ranges… both British and Empire and, of course, Rommel’s Afrika Korps.
These latest add-ons are sure to please quite a few of the “Desert-Diehards”…
EA058 “The M7 Priest”
Ninety of these 105mm-armed assault guns were dispatch to North Africa early in 1942… many of these were modified by the British with side skirts… some were not… this is one of the latter. Our vehicle includes a commander figure.

C. “THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY”
A unique version of the Me.109… this crash- landed 109 belongs to Franz Von Werra, the only German pilot to successfully escape from Allied captivity and finally make it back to Germany in early 1941. Von Werra made a successful “wheels-up” landing up in Kent, England during the Battle of Britain in 1940. After several failed escape attempts he was transported to Canada where he did finally escape into the U.S. before heading to Mexico. Through Brazil across the Atlantic to Spain and eventually Germany. His exploits were filmed as “The One That Got Away” starring Hardy Kruger.
