Dodge 3/4 ton WC 51/52 weapons carrier. Throughout the war Dodge was the sold provider of 3/4 ton vehicles to the US army with over 255,000 being produced in all marks. This ubiquitous vehicles saw service on all fronts and also saw service with the British, Free French and the Soviet army during WW2. Post WW it saw worldwide service with a multitude of armed forces. Please note the supplies in the back of the Dodge are not included and are shown for display purposes only.
The wheels rotate and the steering wheel is removable in order that a driver figure can be inserted, this is one of the many options planned for later on in the year.
This vehicle makes a great accessory pack and can be used in a variety of dioramas including airfields or on a battlefield.

Our first Dodge comes in 3 variants and although often thought of as a Jeep is actually more akin to a small truck due to its size rather than a car.

ACC PACK 026A in the marking of the USMC and priced at $89/£80.

ACC PACK 026B in the markings of the 82nd Airborne and priced at $89/£80.

ACC PACK 026C in olive drab colour scheme and no fixed decal markings. This model does come with both sets of the above decals ready to be applied but you are also free to apply your own. Priced at $85/£78 we have no pictures of this 'C' variant at the moment as the factory seemed to think it was not necessary to send us a sample with the prototypes recently received! However if you use your imagination and remove all decals from the 'A' and 'B' versions above you will have a pretty good idea of what it looks like. Only 20 available so if of interest please order soon.

Our next offering are German Tankers from the 12th SS Panzer Division on parade and awaiting inspection. When the Division was formed a cadre of experienced men and NCO's were drawn from the Leibstandarte Division. Much of their clothing however came from requisitioned Italian stocks of material.

Dear All
Welcome to our penultimate newsletter before we reach our 10th Anniversary in the business on the 4th July 2019!
This month is full of some spectacular goodies for your collection with the main focus being WW2 but also some Napoleonic's for those of you who collect this era. Some of these figures are also available as CLUB figures and can be purchased individually or are free to all CLUB members who spend £200/$300. Please note only 1 free figure per purchase.

For those of you interested in how Brexit is affecting business here in the UK, on a like for like basis this latest shipment of 2000 figures/vehicles cost £4000 more to buy than they would have in pre-Brexit days! Lets hope the £ makes a recovery soon. For those of you based outside the UK, hopefully this will now clarify why we prefer payment in US $ rather than in £'s. We are still using the conversion rate of £1 = $1.30 at the moment and then add 20% VAT for those of you still confused over our UK pricing system.

If any of you are after one of our Roman or Carthaginian elephants or the Ancient Briton chariot we have one of each now available in the 'Ancients section' of our website. This is due to non payment by a collector whom we have been holding these items for quite a while now. As I said we only have one available of each so grab them whilst you can.

All our new figures are now loaded onto the website www.tomgunn.co.uk and available for dispatch middle of next week, as our shipment only left China today.
