Dear Gunn Club
Welcome to our issue of Junes releases and we trust you will enjoy them as
much as we enjoyed designing and manufacturing them. Some of you will not
have received this newsletter by email due to a glitch in our computer
system. For those of you who have registered in the past and still wish to
receive this newsletter, simply send an email to welcome@tomgunn.co.uk with
'Gunn Club' in the title and we will register you again.
Alternatively you can complete the simple application form on our website
www.tomgunn.co.uk.
LOA006 Rolls Royce Armoured Car
Following on from our first 2 Rollers we now offer a 3rd in Desert livery.
Lawrence of Arabia once said "The printing press is the most powerful weapon
in the modern commanders armoury" but he still found plenty of uses for the
Rolls Royce Armoured Car! Although limited in number they proved invaluable
in providing machine gun support for his troops during their hit and run
raids against the Turks. Once again we have only made 100 of these iconic
machines and priced at $129 they are bound to sell out fast. We at TGM plan
to make another Lawrence of Arabia figure later on this year to accompany
the Rolls Royce, so watch this space closely!
V Series 002 Doodlebug and the 2 professors The V1 was an unmanned flying
high explosive warhead mainly aimed at targets in southern England by Hitler
as part of his 'Vengeance Weapons' programme. Fundamental in the design of
this weapon were 2 former aircraft engineers Robert Lusser and Fritz
Gosslau. Our set comprises these 2 figures surveying their handiwork on a
rainy day in Peenemunde. As its raining, Lusser has removed the glasses he
was so often photographed wearing! After the war Lusser went to the USA and
assisted the US in the development of their own space programme. Gosslau
went to work for the Junkers aircraft company where he served as a director
until his retirement.
This Doodlebug is limited to 100 pieces and is priced at $159 with the 2
figures and a trailer.
V Series 003 Luftwaffe Guards
Every airfield needs security and we have certainly provided it with 2
unique looking Luftwaffe guards. One figure has his rifle slung over his
shoulder whilst the second an NCO, has an Alsatian dog to help ensure
security is complete at Peenemunde. At present we only have the Winter
version of these guards available, the Normandy version will follow next
month. Please note the Winter version NCO in soft cap will not come with the
snow effect on his hat as this has now been removed.
SdKfz 141 Aufklarungspanzer Reconnaissance Tank WH002 Following a Heer
requirement for a new armoured reconnaissance vehicle that could make use of
the outdated 38T chassis, the SdKfz 141/1 was born. Just over 100 were made
in 1944 before production was ceased in favour of the SdKfz 234 Puma series.
Armed with a 2cm KwK 38 L55 cannon, the SdKfz 141 was well liked by its
crews. As the tide of war turned against the Germans, the need for such
light tanks was soon becoming obsolete. However as with all vehicles left in
the German inventory, these tanks were sued right up until the end of the
war.
TGM has produced 200 of this beautiful looking vehicle in a Normandy and
Winter version, and at a very attractive price of $115 this must rank as the
bargain of 2013 so far! Please note no crew figure is included, although
SS047 pictured with our tank does look very nice as an accompanying piece.
The 100 Club 003 Ferdinand Schorner
Schorner was a General in the German army, later promoted to Field Marshall
during the dying days of WW2. He was only one of 27 people to be awarded the
Knights Cross with Oak Leaves, Swords and Diamonds. A firm favourite of
Hitler, Schorner sometimes used brutal methods to get the results he needed.
After the war Schorner was imprisoned by the Russians and then later by the
German authorities for executing German army deserters. Released in 1963,
Schorner died some 10 years later and has since then become known as the
last surviving German Army Field Marshall. No Field Marshalls have been
created in the German army since his death.
This figure is free to all Gunn Club members who order $150 or more worth of
products through our online store.
All the above releases will be available at the end of June.
That's all for this month guys, don't forget to register with Gunn Club if

Very nice reconnaissance vehicle. Watch out for the typo in the release - it is a SdKfz 140/1 and not a 141/1. It is the same Ausf of 38(t) chassis as K&C just released with a centre mounted fighting compartment and rear engine. So the two can be directly compared but tread carefully. First person (Guy, Mitch) to say it had an umbrella antennae and how easy it is to make one can make one for me

The new Rolls Royce is actually $125 same as the last versions. Sorry I was having a blonde moment or maybe it was just wishful thinking! Its correct serial number is also LOA007 not 006 - just remember James Bond and you will be ok!
