Dispatches Weekend Teaser (1 Viewer)

[King & Country]

Hi Guys,
May’s “DISPATCHES” will be out this coming Tuesday 3rd of May. Between now and then here’s a very small preview of a couple of items that are being released…

The first, “BANK WITHDRAWAL” , shows our all-new “Four Lions Town Fountain” SP080 sitting in front of the “ Bank de Claremont” SP068 while our “Gang of Heroes” together with “ Karl Otto” and his “ Tiger #115” prepare to remove the gold bullion stored inside.
This little display piece can fit into any European setting and a wide range of historical periods. This fountain comes in a choice of either “Greystone” or “Sandstone” colour finish.



Here’s the second… ” Water in the Desert ” with a selection of figures from the “Napoleon in Egypt” range plus one of our original “Desert Village Shop Houses” and a little stone monument.
You can also see the smaller wall-mounted “Lion Fountain” SP073 located against the wall of the shop house.
Again, this smaller piece is also available in a choice of “Greystone” as well as “Sandstone” finish as seen here.



That’s all for now folks!
Have a great weekend…

P.S. Here’s a little extra bonus “Liberation”.

Little extras that make a world of difference to diorama's. Very nice. Robin.

I think that in the tiger " zimmerit" late production, there was not anymore the mine launcher....And only one light in the middle, not 2.

You know I love this little set-up:

Water for the village! Available for pre-order yet? :smile2:

The Tiger is an early version more for the desert with a few notable missing and incorrect issues for that period. I think if you look this is a repainted Tunisian with zimm added in the process of manufacturing. This has bowl wheels and a number of these had zimmerit applied as the longevity ensured they were available. Zimm is not an issue and does not show a late model production model. Late Tigers usually have a different turret cupola no feiful air intakes and the steel road wheels. The fore light was removed quite quickly from the positions they are in on the model and were lowered to the front armour plate. single fore headlights arrived a bit later.To have been accurate to the movie this should have been on the T-34 chassis and the numerals for the three shown are incorrect.

And how many would howl that the real Tiger never was mounted on a T 34 chassis and how could K/C get it this wrong? Michael

If Hollywood did it, surely it's got to be right!:wink2: As I recall, the Tiger on the T-34 chassis was a huge relief after all those movies in which the only fully-tracked AFV was a priest-gun. :rolleyes2:
