Dear Gunn Club
Firstly an apology to all dealers and clients for the delay in receipt of Aprils order. Due to circumstances beyond our control we lost over 10 days due to Easter and some missing shipping documents! However alls well that ends well and all our orders have now been shipped. So with no further delay I am delighted to announce Mays releases, which are as follows:
NAP002 RHA Rocket Set Part 2
Following on from our first RHA release we now have pleasure in completing our battery with a new version about to be fired. Comes with 2 figures and priced at $72 as per previous release. The A version sets come with 1 figure wearing traditional Tarleton hat about to ignite the rocket and the on-looking Sgt wearing an RHA soft hat.
The B version comes with one figure sporting a nasty looking head wound and a Sgt wearing the Tarleton hat. Limited to 150 of each version and available now!
SS036 PAK 36
Sorry this set really should have had an FJ serial number but in all the excitement I got carried away and gave these guys an SS serial number! Features 2 SS FJ’s manning a PAK 36 in the winter of 1944 for the A version and the B version suitable for Spring 1945. The original PAK 36 had quickly become obsolete soon after WW2 commenced; however with various improvements it saw service throughout the war. One of these enhancements was the ability to fire a Stielgranate rocket propelled
anti tank round. Although very effective against all Allied armour, it had to be reloaded by one of the crew crawling round to the front to place a new round into the barrel. Not a job I personally would have volunteered for! One figure looks safely on behind the gun shield whilst his number 2 reloads the PAK.
Comes with a couple of spare rifles for the crew members, one 37mm conventional ammo case and a spare Stielgranate round. Please note the factory have ‘hidden’ the spare rifles under various layers of foam. When you receive your box you will need to be very thorough in retrieving all items!
Limited to 150 pieces in each version and priced at $99. As before this set is available now and ready to ship!
GC010 Oberst Karl F
Our latest Gunn Club figure features a German officer with a rather unusual surname! Karl F*cker was an officer with SS Battalion 600. He saw service throughout the war and only died in 1999. We have sculpted Karl in the prone position looking through his binoculars, spotting for the PAK36 crew. Karl comes armed with an MP43/44 and is also wearing captured US army goggles on top of his helmet. A very useful item when riding pillion on an open top Krupp truck or a motorcycle. The Panzerfaust shown is also included with this set although it’s been hidden under layers of foam inside the packing box, look under the MP43/44 piece of foam and it should be there! More German troops later in the year with even more unusual names! Priced at $32 and available now with both versions limited to 150 of each version.
ATW004 House Party Part 2
The second part to our very successful House Party Part 1, features 2 more US Paratroopers wearing the uniform of the 101st AB in the A version and the 82nd
AB Pathfinders in the B version. Figure 1 prepares to launch himself through the door after the grenade has been thrown thru into the suspect bunker. More by luck than design this figure also looks great when placed with the wounded figure from SS021 medical set or the dead FJ from FJ007. The second figure in the set reaches behind to retrieve his bayonet from his scabbard, ready for the inevitable close combat about to follow. A very flexible set when combined with ATW003 or on its own. Limited to 150 sets in each version, priced at $64 for the 2 figures and available now.
GEB 003 Advance to Attack Part 2
Two more great looking SS Gebirgsjager mountain troops, a superb accompaniment for GEB002 or on their own. Figure one fires his MP43/44 at the enemy whilst figure two armed with a captured Russian PPS42, advances somewhat more cautiously. Priced at $64 for the 2 figures, limited to 150 of each set and available now.
That’s all for now, I have also included a picture of PARA007/008 on a mystery Allied tank! These 2 sets look superb on a tank and if you have any Allied armour that needs some enhancing with tank riders, these boys fit the job nicely.
Best Wishes for now.
Thomas Gunn
