From a dealers point of view I think this has to be the best monthly release John has done.
My favourite would have to be the armoured car. His ambulance and this one are getting JJ new collectors who have not bought JJ before.
Well done John.
Regards
Brett

This is a nice website with pictures: http://www.zi.ku.dk/personal/drnash/model/spain/did.html
How about the HE-112!
Neat site. Quite a variety of aircraft, a real mishmash. I'd like to see the two Polikarpovs, the I-15 and I-16, get done. There is just something kind of iconic about them and the SCW. -- Al

Something for everyone ? - I don't think so. Sorry to see it, but another month of releases goes by without anything new for collectors of the Jacobite Rebellion.
I'm desperately going through historical records looking for evidence that Clan Cameron might have had a primative bi-plane painted in clan tatan, or that the artillery fielded by Duke of Cumberland at Culloden were early facist made prototypes. - Might be the only way to get something new in this fine series. :rolleyes2:

LOL. I , too, would like to see the bonnie Prince. -- Al

JJ really seems to have found his niche wth his Spanish Civil War series, it continues to go from strength to strength with lots of unique, well made, realistic and historically accurate pieces that nobody else has really done. That's how you compete with the big boys! I don't collect that era but I must say I am SORELY TEMPTED to pick up a few pieces for representation....especially the German tankettes. ^&cool

Not complaining as I alway find something to buy but more Culloden figures would be welcome. I think John said that mounted dragoons were coming at some point.
We can always use more Native Americans as well.

The German armoured car is a vast improvement on the "fantasy" version K&C released some years ago. The Condor Legion Me-109 looks super. I've just bought a new Osprey book on Condor Legion aces, which I strongly recommend. The cover has great artwork of a Me-109 in action but I think its a D, rather than an E version.

That would make sense. I don't think the "E" versions showed up until the fighting was over. I don't know of any other "D" versions modelled - usually just "E"s and "G"'
It looks exceptional in the photos.

As someone suggested on another forum, John may have done the "E" because it can be modified for WWII battles. I would expect to see several variants of this plane.
Thanks Combat,
After looking at the list, I see alot of fun items, but I'm not sure any would be commercially viable?
I agree
Have no JJ as of right now but I did pre order the armor car tonight, that thing looks incredible
Trying to resist the ambulance.......

Yep, expect to see John entering WWII range soon. It's getting crowed in here, LOL.

I am not 100% sure if that would be a GOOD move or NOT.
Everyone, not only has their fingers in the WWII pie, most vendors are up to their waist or neck in WWII figures. However, how many have the FWI / WWI planes / 1812 / Condor Legion / Jacobite and more ... done in such perfection as John has done??? Of course my view is (admittedly ) self serving, but the question is still valid.
I agree. WW2 is swamped with product. No reason to enter an area that is so over-represented. JJD is doing just fine, IMO, and is doing a great job with the various "odd" areas that he has chosen to do. JJD appears to be going deeper into WW1, which is a winner with me. The SCW stuff is unique and the Jacobites are the best figures on the market. Who needs more WW2?:wink2: -- AlI am not 100% sure if that would be a GOOD move or NOT.
