I just had the pleasure of a brief (for us) conversation with Mr. Neilson, and he has authorized me to pass along some good news.

In the first instance, shortly following the release of the German Tank Crew set, we can expect an American Tank crew set. Additionally, after the two tank crews, Andy will be commencing production of Allied and Luftwaffe ground crews (which, of course, will have to be fit into his busy production schedule further down the line).

Andy has also stressed that he is still examining factories in China for one which can produce excellent quality regular production aircraft at prices affordable by all collectors, and believes he has found two such factories.

He also continues to work with the very small studio in the Philippines to produce limited quantities of superb connoseur aircraft which will be made available to interested collectors.

He let me in on a few secrets, but kept a few more under his hat, so that I also would be suprised when he unveils the secret projects he is currently working on at the Chicago Show.

Andy also mentioned that he will be in the U.S. to attend the San Antonio Toy Soldier Show, so you lucky gents who can make it will get to pump him for more information in person.
 
Thank you Louis,great news on the US tank crew and also the ground crew.You must be very pleased mate!:).Also good to hear about the affordable Warbirds.Its very exciting being a K&C collector right now.

My brother Bob was in HK office for a meeting with Andy yesterday and spent 5hrs discussing ideas. Lets just say where the hell does this guy get his ideas from forget the factories for producing the stuff Andy has his own factory on over drive in his head.... wooot woot chugger chugger the Andy express is coming.

Mike lands in HK with Sue Tommorrow and they have another meeting on Monday so there will be more findings then

Hi Guy's
There are some things in the pipeline (and one thing in particular) which I am sure will surprise and excite a load of you.......I have said too much already; infact I was told not to tell even my Dad!
The K&C UK Crimean box's look great by the way; very pleased.
Cheers
Bob

Its funny. Andy said in a post the other day that the Storch was at the final prototype stage, but when I asked him about a release date, he didn't give me anything specific. I get the feeling he is not 100% convinced that the factory he is dealing with is going to be satisfactory. He discussed another factory producing regular release warbirds in a different way. We'll have to see.
