I do like the Napoleonic Navy, so hopefully we get a couple of other Jack Tars to make a nice landing party set to go with the last set of Marines.
They with then be able to engage the French and so I'd then love to see some beach or portside dioramas form this period of history.

Well done Andy !!!!!

Hi Andy and the K&C team,

First off congratulations on some amazing new releases. The Blitz sets are absolutely top notch.

I apologies if this has already been addressed been at work and now playing catch up, is there any likelihood of an original French version of the carrier this year. I love the FOB 1940 range and I also think the carrier was used in the Norwegian campaign of 1940. I think there is a picture in the Osprey book on Norway and Denmark.

Thanks in advance

Regards one and all

That's my question too. Is there ggoing to be a French version in green or even a German version in the original green. I'm thinking of a small scenario with the Renault in original bluee and German markings and a german gun crew manning a captured Russian 76.2 mm gun

I am not an old west collector but TRW056(P) “Hawk Man” (casualty) looks like it might be a one-off purchase for me. Too good to pass up.

C. “THE BLITZ!”
Between September 1940 and May 1941 there were major German bombing raids on 16 British cities, including London, Birmingham, Liverpool and Glasgow. Hundreds of thousands of homes, factories, schools and hospitals were destroyed and damaged the length and breadth of Britain with over 40,000 civilians killed and many more wounded.

Helping protect Britain’s cities and people were many organizations but few were more important or necessary as… The National Fire Service.

Created by combining the professional, full-time fire brigades and the auxiliary, part-time volunteers this new organization of fire-fighters fought the flames and the Germans at the same time.

K&C’s new “Fields of Battle” release portrays a group of NFS firemen performing a rescue and tackling the aftermath of yet another Luftwaffe “raid”.

FOB103 “Section Leader”
Shouting instructions this fireman oversees his mates. Note the red band of a “Section Leader” on his helmet.

FOB104 “Fighting The Blaze”
A 2-man team complete with their fire hose.

FOB105 “The Rescue”
A fireman tenderly lifts a young girl to safety from the ruins of her home.

FOB106 “Fireman w/Hose”
Another fireman carries a rolled-up length of firehose on his shoulder.

FOB107 “Bedford 1939 Fire Engine”
The NFS used a variety of many different vehicles and appliances – this 1939 vintage, Bedford Fire Truck was one of them…Please note the fireman’s hose of FOB104 can fit neatly onto a pump nozzle on the left rear side of the engine.

AVAILABLE: Mid-July

The pipe the firemen are keeping looks too short, it not even touches the ground and the camion, well,it reminds me Walt Disney.

Ok, ta Serge. Having just seen both in the flesh at the Brisbane Dinner I can tell you, don't go by the promo pictures, I thought the same about the fire engine and can say now that it is much, much better than the pictures show.
