Hi,just got my hands on IWJ024 Chi-Ha Japanese Tank,its my first piece from the range.
Its just a quick question why are there 2 different Raising the flag Sets,IWJ006 and IWJ019 in the range,have any collectors got both and whats the difference and is worth purchasing both
Regards Steveo.

Steveo....

The jap tank is a great set and one I wished I had been able to get hold off. I don't have the early raising the flag set but, do have the latter which, is great. I just think its better quality that really differs. K&C often re-visit sets and do them better. Both are probably well worth having though

Dear "STeveo":

I had the IWJ006 first K&C initial version from copywrite 1999 series and I have seen photos of the newer verion of the Iwo Jima flag raising. I believe the only or at least major difference is that the flag in one (I believe the newer version) has holes in the flag. I sold my IWJ06 set in about 2006 for about $225 to a man in California via eBay.
