K&C Getting better! (1 Viewer)

[daruss]

I was always a critic of K&C, but i really do enjoy the new SS TANK CORPS.. and i like the WWI GERMAN With his girl/also the WW2 GERMAN "FRATINIZING"! .. I think these were great ideas and i hope Andy keeps it up!

BUT !! The MP40's on the Germans still have to be improved!! They are a little too big.. Also, the visors on the troops have to be made too look more realistic... They can't be just simply painted white/ they should be "clear"

DARUSS ,whats the new ss tanks corps ? If you mean the Das Reich tiger etc etc ,they have not been released as yet,mid MAY and early JUNE i am led to believe,Tiger being the first to arrive.These figures may have been cooler if they were dismounted tankmen in action poses,collectors could have placed them in all sorts of dios inc Arnhem, Bulge ,NW and EAST europe etc.If as you say you have been a "critic" of K&C,checkout some of the more recent releases ,Cossacks,RAF,USAAF,ALH,Confederate Cav, Crusaders, Crimean War and many more,if you are still a "Critic" after seeing those mentioned then you will ,in my humble opinion ,never be happy.Keep collecting,its too cool,for normal people, Ken

The Tiger Tank looks good but I agree the SS figures I will not be purchasing.....the poses do not seem to fit in well with the tank itself....The Tunsian Tiger and the Old Winter Tiger both have better figures associated with it....those do seem to fit in well.

If you plan to use S33 in a Kursk scene ,WSS110 to 115,would come close to the summer camo smock used by Das Reich Grenadiers during the battle.Iam sure there is an actual photo of S33 from Kursk with DS Grenadiers in similar poses to WS111,Terry (phantom warrior ) will probably have it in his photo collection,i have it somewhere but Terry will have it on hand and post it quicker than i can.Just an idea if you're interested , Ken

Hi Ken, I'm "normal", i just don't like some of the errors on the figures.. And, yes, you are correct about the upcoming "DAS REICH" figures.. But, K&C actually did release a "dismounted" SS tanker, he was in the FALL OF BERLIN series.. Unfortunatly, the tankers' head and MP40 were too big,, Otherwise , it was a decent figure, the uniform seemed accurate,, I wish Andy would do a re-issue of that figure..

We at Battle Scene Productions plan on doing some scenes in the near future combining assorted Manufacturers in to the scene, this will give the Collector a chance to see how the various Manufacturers figures mixed together, play to the camera. It should be interesting. Alex
