Hats off to K&C! (1 Viewer)

Guys,have just been having a longer look at the Landing Craft and FW 190,check out the weathering and detail on these items.It really is very well done.Look at the dirt/weathering above the wing on the FW,looks very good to me.Gradually month after month K&C are really nailing the dirt and wear and tear on their items.The FW looks as if it really has seen some service and is a terrific looking model,what they started with the Hurricane and P51 now continues with the Butcher bird,great stuff

Ken,can I tell the wife you told me not to save my dosh for the Spit

JG are really producing some great stuff arn't they,with their mat and this new wave of K&C you are right there in Saving Private Ryan.

The FW is a nice model and, the Higgins boats are much better than the previous ones and, is that a new jeep in the pictures with a trailor??

Love the civillians and will work in any ETO diorama. I like the fact that they look how they would be feeling having been uprooted from their homes and, in fear of their futures.

I have had quite a few conversations with people about the new releases and, everyone is amazed at what has come out.

Make sure you watch Saving Private Ryan on Bluray, on a large screen - better yet use that as your backdrop to the beach display

Yes I agree,the feedback I've been getting is very positive.

How about that FW,just what you were waiting for?

I cant wait for the FW190. K&Cs version sure looks good. I have all of the other new polystone planes and they just keep getting better.

Rob - I wanted so bad not to like it....but they really hit this one out of the park. I also just ordered the new Tiger I, and now this! My forces are amassing to punch a hole in your D-Day landings

It looks so good doesn't it,a fine example of the Butcher Bird,affordable Warbirds,I love it!.

I will have to muster a Firefly,Hurricane,Typhoon to ensure landing success,ok they havn't made the Polystone Typhoon yet,but I can dream

I must admit, I've not been buying KC airplanes to date-but that'll change with the FW...outstanding looking piece !

That FW190 really looks great. I'm glad to see K&C going with a little more weathering on this plane. Makes it look more realistic. Maybe this is a trend that might continue on future warbird releases? Has a price been anounced on this?

 

[Rob]

And not forgetting the rust on the Landing craft,again no pristine example here,this has been in the water sometime,gives it a real knocked about feel to it.

You are right Rob, I hadn't looked closely at the landing craft yet. That does look good.

Duke - I had the same question. Looks to be $199 on the K&C website. Considering the cost of a wooden warbird, this is a good price to pick up this fine specimen. Now if we could just get multiples with different aircraft numbers....

 

[jbonzo1]

Looks like the FW will be my first K&C warbird!

While we are dreaming.......I know its way early and the wrong pilot, this is Priller not Bar, but how about a BMW for the airfield display? Perhaps not as nice as my 335i coupe

The FW190 is a great model. It will be my first KC warbird and first 1/30 aircraft if I can put the money together for it. I was a little disappointed that the price was so high at $199. Was hoping it would be in the ballpark of the earlier Hurricanes etc. At any rate this is a must have as it is my favorite ETO aircraft. -- Al

Hi guys
I have never mentioned K+C prices before but the new FW has seemed to jump nearly 60 pounds
This is a beautiful plane but i dont think i will be able to these much longer but my anniversary is coming up so hope my wife takes the hint
Regards Scott
