So they did. Looks like Wayne gets his wish for grey again and a whole new Oz series that K&C can do - "Famous Settlers" series. ^&grin When is Andy going to run out of grey paint.

Wayne - you do know all these grey models is not the same as 50 shades of grey - don't you. ^&grin

Hope that some of the British Regiments that participated will make an appearance in the Gallipoli range in the not too distant future.

Hysterically, these were actually Brits - Australia didn't happen until 1901... at which time these gentlement would have become the Government

To be fair, only the least fashion conscious Brits, i mean what were they expecting wearing horizontal stripes......never flattering.

E. ‘HITLER’S FINAL DAYS”
From Britain’s darkest hour and possibly its finest in 1940 and ’41 to Germany’s darkest days in April and May 1945...

Hitler’s “Thousand-Year” Reich has barely lasted just 12...British, American and Russian armies are already thrusting deep into the German heartland. In the West, hundreds of thousands of Wehrmacht soldiers are surrendering...In the East the Soviets are already battling their way into Berlin and fighting street-by-street, house-by-house.

In the “Führerbunker” in the bomb-damaged Reich Chancellery, Adolf Hitler prepares for the worst...

WS294 “Dead German Soldaten”
Four fallen Wehrmacht infantrymen who will fight no more...

WS312 “Hitler’s Last Parade”
A special 5-figure set based on actual newsreel and photo images of a little ceremony that took place on Hitler’s 56th birthday on 20th April 1945 in the ruins of the Reich Chancellery garden. Here Hitler greets a small group of Hitlerjugend boys who have been decorated for bravery in the recent fighting in Berlin.
Slowly and deliberately he goes down the line talking to each boy in turn. By his side is Arthur Axmann, the HJ leader. Completing the set are 3 of the young fighters.

WS313 “Hitler’s Bunker”
Not the entire complex of the “Führerbunker” you understand...Most of it was deep underground...But here you see part of the upper entranceway from where Hitler emerged for the last time on his birthday to greet the Hitlerjugend boys.
The triangular shaped structure has already suffered from both Allied bombing and Soviet Shelling...its pockmarked reinforced concrete surface is testament to that.
On one side is another entrance way and an iron ladder leading to the roof.

WS314 “Führerbunker Ventilation Tower”
This cylindrical concrete tower provided fresh air to the underground complex and like the Führerbunker itself has suffered from both bombing and shelling.

WS315 “SS Bunker Bodyguards”
To protect Hitler and the other Nazi Leaders in the bunker a small detachment of SS was provided. Our 2-man set shows a pair of SS men armed and on guard duty with MP40 “Schmeisser” Machine Pistols.

WS318 “Extra Hitlerjugend”
To add to the HJ group meeting the Fuhrer for the last time here are two more young fighters.
The young lad wearing the greenish uniform jacket belongs to the Auxiliary Fire Service which recruited volunteers from the Hitlerjugend. In the battle for Berlin they exchanged their firehoses for rifles and panzerfaust anti-tank rockets.
The other young boy is wearing the standard HJ uniform and belongs to the “Special Patrol Service” group who were already trained in small arms even before the desperate days of April and May 1945.

AVAILABLE: Mid May

dd271 “blitz” churchill
during even the heaviest german bombing of britain in 1940 and 1941 churchill became a welcome and heartening visitor to many bomb-shattered cities and towns the length and breadth of the island nation.

Here he is stepping out with his “tin bowler” (steel helmet) on and his gasmask haversack over one shoulder...the famous cigar in his mouth.

i just love churchill with his tin bowler. Immediately goes to top of my want list. Ironically i am entering into the advanced painters category at mfca this up coming week end at valley forge a collection of winston churchill busts i have painted to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his death. One of those is churchill himself in his tin bowler. 1/9th scale resin casting, painted in artist oils over an acrylic undercoat.
See the rest of the collection at mfca this weekend....
