Re: finally something Dutch

AWESOM, and a dream come trough! However did not see this coming! This will however be a attack on my x-masa bonus.

But what a treat for a dutchman. K&c could not do better and now I have some troops to chase my Scotish greys.

Are the dotts on the Scotish officers horse not enirely coherent with the 'older' horsses?

Surf's Up Boys .... lancers, Red lancers & plenti of them. Andy has responded to our earlier observations, and the new figures come with slight variances in poses, perfect for "army building".

This sounds like a First Legion recommendation for more realistic Napoleonic troops display.

The Komet and Luftwaffe figures are the best things in a long while. Well done.

Overall good dispatches. The komet is really cool and in my opinion fairly priced. Its cool to see k&c go into the air force. I was happy to see AK16 retired. I bought that set 5 years ago and I'm guessing it might of came out summer of '02 ( I'm not sure because I was not in the hobby at the time) I think for a set to be out for 5 years and not be retired is too long for a set to be on the primary market. After all the more sets out there the lesser the value.

Komet indeed seems fairly priced. Best wishes with this series

OMG I love those sets. Very nice Andy. I really do like these. Especially the price for the Komet. Keep up the good work Andy.

I couldn't agree more. I just reserved my Komet from TF.

Great releases again Andy! I guess all the Napoleonic enthusiasts will be happy now, they got their lancers. I sure hope the rumors for next year are true and that more war between the states is on the way.

With the Komet being an SL set with a production run of 750, whats the predictions to how many days before we hear there all are preordered and accounted for, none are available?
Then let the MOANING begin!!!

 

[Youngster]

I also agree that these are great dispatches! The air force figures and Komet are great. Hopefully, it means more polystone Warbirds in the future!

Hope you're right. A Fieseler Fi 103R would be welcomed.

I'm crossing my fingers on this as well...

 

[jazzeum]

I've already pre-ordered mine and I wouldn't wait.

 

[IXEC]

I have never seen a ME-163 painted this way

 

[jazzeum]

The color scheme shown looks quite similar to the ones shown in "Warplanes of the Luftwaffe: Combat Aircraft of Hitler's Luftwaffe 1939-1945" by David Donald and I know Andy has it since he was the one who recommended it to me.

 

[nmrocks]

I am very happy with this months dispatches, one thing I really like is the all inclusiveness of adding single figures to some neglected lines ie: highlander and Scott grey. I have lobbied for this appoach for a long time as it "quenches the appetite" without having to commit to 300.00 or 400.00 in a single month. imagine a month where 12 or so lines were covered with a single set from each?!?

 

[IXEC]

To begin with, tail # 191 329 is called yellow 7 not yellow 14 . The camo job on the K&C is wrong

 

[IXEC]

Andy please get this Me-163 right, registration # 191 329 was not yellow 14 and is didn't belong to the 1./jG 400 , with the emblem " Wie ein Floh - aber oho ! " ( The Rocket-Propelled Flea )

If you want to use this unit emblem, than you can't have the Reg. # 191 329 and that camo scheme

Brad,

I'm not familar with the book you quote, and thank you for that ref.

But I do have the original picture of Reg. # 191 329 , from the book " Me-163 Rocket Interceptor Vol. 2 " by Stephen Ransom and I know Mr. Ransom, because I have corrected some of his works.

The Me-163 in question is on page 307 of this book.

Still nothing for AWI yet , will have to wait patiently for next dispatches...!
