Gulf War range? (1 Viewer)

[indiana81]

Over in the "Favorite World War 2 Movies" thread, Andy mentioned the Gulf War film "Bravo Two Zero" as a favorite. When I saw it a couple months ago, it got me wishing for a Scud-busting SAS set. Is there a chance that anything in a Desert Storm vein will be produced at some point? Or an expansion of the Iraq/Afghanistan ranges? Based on the availability of some of the retired SF sets, I'd assume that the chances are slim. But I had to put it out there. What do you all think?

Andy did some limited Gulf war stuff back in 1991-1992, so I doubt he is going to revisit it now, with Forces of Valor and other die-cast companies covering it. Just for your own information, he did a limited edition (200 set) glossy Gulf War U.S. Marines and a U.S.A.F. Jet Pilot (both in his Commemorative Edition Series), along with several warbirds, including an F14 Tomcat, F15 Eagle and Strke Eagle, F16, U.S.M.C. and British Royal Navy Harriers, a Stealth Fighter, and a couple of other British Planes for the Gulf War. He might have even done a Mig, but I'd have to check my Warbirds list to be sure.

As you may be aware, he did some U.S., British (including SAS), Taliban and Iraqi forces, along with a half-buried Iraqi Tank and a U.S. HumVee for the present conflict, perhaps he will do more in that series as time passes. I understand that Figarti will be addressing the area as well, with several vehicles on the way, so you might want to check there as well.

I think he's said something akin to what Louis said that since the die cast companies cover it rather well, he's not going to do it.

Thanks for the information Louis! I do have some of the SF sets and I love 'em! I've been thinking of checking out the Figarti sets as well. Thanks!

Thanks for the confirmation Brad.

Justin,

If you want some more of the Special Forces sets, check with Bruntons Barracks, they have a few sets in stock.
