Just wondering what is the earliest KC pieces you guys have. Here are three of my favs.....I believe from 1998. Of course Andy would know if I am wrong.

The early DAK sets are nice. I hope they do an update of that walking patrol ( your last picture) one day.

Many thanks for bringing back these K&C 'Golden Oldies' from our dim'n'distant past...

It's worth remembering that King & Country was among the very first of the 'new' toy soldier companies to release a broad range of armoured fighting vehicles to accompany and support their toy soldiers!

Great to see again these old favourites.
Best wishes and happy collecting,
Andy.

Mine are the Nelson and modern Navy sets, plus the Royal Marine band. Great sets

The ones I really like and have not got were the early WW2 German mounted. Great sets.

I had one or two of the early tanks (now sold) but never saw the attraction. My favorite early K & C are the planes. To each their own, of course.



I have a good many of the K & C glossy. One of my earliest are the 82nd Airborne glossy.

Those look almost exactly like the poses for the old Airfix WWII US Paratroopers.

They were modeled on Airfix. If you look at WS01 and WS02, they are also Airfix.

Were these 1/32 scale? These are very nice!
