Favorite K&C Tank (1 Viewer)

Kev, yeah I think those sets were in limited production, or maybe people don't like to part with them. And sad to say I doubt that any Afrika Korps units used these later Panzer IV variants with turret schurzens. Of course I could be wrong, it does happen, from time to time

Surely not!

Crusader tank with 6pdr main gun.

What about this Panzer IV (AK094), I'm not sure how many were made but I think it's scarce.

The weathering on this tank is spectacular and timeless.

Excellent, and lots of room for tank riders.

Here's a couple pics of Fury undergoing repair with the help of K&C's Recovery Vehicle:

Great movie, great replicas of the “stars” of that movie by K&C.

The recovery vehicle is huge, I guess it has to be to handle tanks. That’s a mighty piece K&C produced. Robin.

The K&C Recovery Vehicle is HUGE and is actually one of my FAVORITE K&C models. Comes with 4 figures.

It is still for sale at Treefrog at the original $299 price which is a Bargain in my opinion at today's prices for new models. Andy

Absolutely! Have to love Fury.

It really is, and a fantastic vehicle. I waited some time to purchase but glad I did. Would love to see a stand-alone trailer by K&C as an addition to hitch and haul (separate from the Diamond T Tank Tranporter Set).

Tank of the Day, Panzer III Ausf. N

Released in 2015, this short-barreled field grey assault Panzer by K&C is a little gem. I may have to dust mine off for a new scene with some classic Wehrmacht or Panzer Grenadiers.

Tank of the Day, Japanese Type 95 ‘Ha-Go’ Light Tank

Delving into the Pacific, this little Japanese vehicle is known as the Type 95 ‘Ha-Go’ Light Tank. K&C designed an open hatch version that came with one figure, a tank commander, released in 2016 (#20), followed by a closed-hatch version with no figure in 2018 (#22). The Ha-Go had a crew of three.

Here's a few shots of both light tanks in action:

Tank of the Day: M5 Normandy Stuart (DD067)

Returning to Normandy, this little 3-figure tank was released in 2006. Complete with a set of hedge cutters, this US Stuart had twin Cadillac engines proudly made by GMC in Detroit. Being quiet, compact, and agile, it was known as the "Little Ghost" serving as a perfect scout for locating German infantry. Unfortunately, the M5 had a 37 mm gun making it not so powerful on the battlefield.

This was my first tank from K&C, despite its obvious limitations compared to later versions, it has always been a bit of a favourite for me, as seeing it in a shop in London (with other items) helped get me into the hobby.

It’s a classic! The 007 Whitman Tiger…

Which London shop was it?
