Hi Guys,
We are pleased to present several Collector's Bonus Gift Sets that could enhance your WWII and Vietnam War collection, available at a great value.
THE SWORD BEACH SETS
Although the vast majority of the over 23,000 ‘Higgins Boats’ produced during WW2 went to the US Navy and Coastguard several hundred were also supplied to Britain’s Royal Navy which used them to supplement their own LCA’s (Landing Craft Assault).
Royal Navy LCVPS carried the same number of crew as their American counterparts (usually 3 or 4) and were painted in the distinctive RN camouflage colours of ocean white and cold sea blue.
Purchasing both Bonus Gift Sets allows you to replicate the history of ‘British Tommies’ landing in Normandy on D.Day using the LCVPs.
THE WEHRMACHT TRANSPORT SET
Another WWII set contains 4 Panzer Grenadier Infantry and the Fordwerke V3000 Truck. It depicts the German reinforcements heading to the battlefield.
Our K&C truck model comes with a seated army driver and 2 removable bench seats which, when fitted, can seat several infantrymen. When the benches are removed, the open space can also accommodate all kinds of cargo, ammunition, supplies, and even a 20mm flak gun and crew!
THE AUSSIE M113 IN VIETNAM WAR
As Australia's involvement in South Vietnam deepened, the Army decided it must have a modern armored personnel carrier that could more easily navigate through dense South East Asian jungles, paddy fields, rivers and creeks.
After exhaustive tests and trials in Australia's own tropical rain forests, the Army selected the American-made M113.
In March 1965, the first M113 A1's arrived in Australia and by June of that same year, some of these Aussie 113's were deployed to South Vietnam. Getting both available M113 sets with different Australian troop figures in rest and on patrol helps tell your own stories of Aussies in the Vietnam War… and makes for a great display.
THE LAND ROVERS IN VIETNAM WAR
K&C produced 2 Land Rovers that saw service in Vietnam and now they are available as bonus sets with very attractive prices.
The first set contains a Short Wheelbase, series II Land Rover with a seated Military Police driver and a fully-fitted canvas cover. You can also see the senior NCO stopping traffic, with his #2 covering him and the approaches to the checkpoint with his M16 next to the 'Check Point' sign.
The second set includes another version of the Short Wheelbase Land Rover, which has had its side doors and rear hatch removed to allow fast loading and even faster 'debussing' in the event of an ambush or other emergency. Additionally, it comes with three 'Diggers' carrying L1A1 SLR's that could be placed on the Land Rover or other Australian fighting vehicles such as the Centurion and the M113.
Hope you like them and have a great weekend!
Best wishes,
Andy
