Dispatches:Place your bets!! (1 Viewer)

[Harrytheheid]

How about a RAT PATROL SL Set !

There was a Brit in that show - So there you go an International Best Seller !

Ron,
I seem to remember that show causing an uproar when it was shown in the UK, with ex-Desert Rats foaming at the mouth in rage writing letters of protest to the newspapers. Didn't the show exhibit the same levels of realism as the A-Team..??
Not trying to wind you up or anything, you understand...

Aircraft Carrier in full 1/30 for the warbirds

Yeehaa! Wowwowie! is that you Redhugh on the picture?
That beaut must cost a fortune! May be a bit too big to even to fit in Louie B's museum.
How much did that baby cost?
N-P

 

[OzDigger]

I suspect the images are some he googled, and models don't look near large enough for 1/30 scale.

Looking at the last photo, it appears to be a Lego construction, maybe?

I was just kidding you on with my giant WHY post. I also would like to see some Big Red One figures from Operation Torch, Kasserine, etc.

I hope we are going to see some back up for my Matilda, Desert Vickers and 25pounder,because right now they are heavily outgunned.I think the EA Troops are some of the best figures Andy has produced,the facial features on some of the infantry are superb.

I know this shouldn't be a suggestion thread but it would be nice if the Matilda were redone, not that there was anything wrong with the first one, just so other collectors would have a chance to acquire one.

And give me a chance to get another one!

Just had a thought(sound of pennys dropping inside my head)as the Churchill Tank has recently been retired from active duty,might we see a Desert painted version?

[damian]

When will we see the dispatches then?

YES, YES - I missed the first one.

I reckon that it would be too soon after retirement to see this. Same thought for an EA Bren Gun Carrier. I would guess that as these are both a few years old, that K&C would want to do a fresh mold with the current detail level, and I just can't see them doing that a few months after retiring the older versions.

Got to be a Crusader...

I would not mind an A13 in FOB and EA like the Mk6....................

Maybe Andy is waiting in line for a train out of China.

I'm wondering what that is supposed to mean.
