KnC PLASTICS - WHAT NEXT? (1 Viewer)

[graycap]

It must be coming up to the anniversary of the release of KnC's D-Day Sherman and I wonder what the coming months might bring.

I know the vehicle was somewhat controversial when released, but I am very satisfied with mine and I hope it will not prove to be a one-off. It was very nice to be able to buy a tank at under £100.00 (compare with the new Renault carrier at £129.95), so I hope others will follow - my personal preference would be for a StuG III (Normandy).

However, I was intrigued reading an account of the Singapore K & C event some weeks ago when a new "Wehrmacht" range was mentioned. As the WSS series seems perfectly able to accomodate both late war Heer and Waffen SS and early war "Grey" Germans, I wondered why a new range was necessary. Perhaps if it is the intention to issue this new series in plastic, hence the new title. Perhaps the forthcoming OTSN show in Chicago may provide some more information.

Hello Forum Friend! I only want to tell you that I always Buy fr0m K&C and CS! But, spending $70.00US for a Molded Plastic Tank, is ridiculous! I Purchased the 1/30th True Scale SHERMAN Tank Motorized, on E-bay was Made with Remote control! I Bought 20-Tanks, when they First came out, they were Selling for $10.00US at that time! Now you could Buy them for around $30 to $42, on E-Bay! They have Real Tracks, and Adjustable for Height! I Painted these Tanks for my 8th Army N.Africa and also for Europe Colors and Added Gas Tanks and All kind of War Accessories! Just Click on E-Bay, 1/30 Sherman Tanks and also, 1/30 Pershing Tanks! I think you will like them! (REALISTIC)! Take Care, johgambale! CIAO! :wink2:^&cool

These RC tanks are very well worth the money. I've owned the 1/18 RC Tiger 1 and KV1 and enjoy them very much especially if you can weather them a little bit. They are very fun to drive in the backyard. Now I might have to get these 1/24 & 1/30 RC tanks as well.

I bought a " 1/30 " RC Sherman some time back, with sound effects, etc. I weathered it and added stowage to make it KC like...Showed a photo of it on the forum about 2 years ago..Gave it to a local kid who liked history and toy soldiers, in one of my " good guy moments "..Good thing I do not have them too often...

Speaking of which, that little K n' C tank stowage piece is great. It has many uses and is really well done. I hope we see more accessories like that soon.
