Thanks. I started collecting at the right time - just before the older models disappeared from stores.

Thanks Mitch. But I still can't decide on whether to do more dios which display fewer AFVs or just fill the shelves with AFVs to get more showing. That's an issue I probably will never resolve.

Terry...

I try to do a bit of both. I have most of the sets in the converted loft which has most of the dio's and the LAH display but, have a room downstairs at the back of the house which has wall shelves where sets are just placed next to each other. I have been building dios at about 12x12 which is the width of the shelves to put some on but, you get less on. I suppose its all down to how much room and how many sets.

I have to say the AK Tunision Tiger Is my Favorite. Might be even my Favorite KC item overall, but what
I really favor I dont own yet is the Rommel Grief. I alway's Kick myself for not getting into this scale hobby sooner I just started collecting this scale around june of 2009. first item's were CS winter
Panther & Hannomag set which i dont own anymore from those two purchase's that was it I was hooked.

Something about the AK Tiger that sets it apart,Possibly the larger size than earlier models and the desert paint ???

Excellent pics Wayne, can't decide if that one or the Snow Tiger is K&C's best, both are superb^&cool

Agree mate its up there with the best i wish i had more of them.

not in the league of pics from rob and wayne but, one of my favourite recent sets in dio. the flak 41 in situ somewhere near the oder or, in reality my spare room floor!!!
Mitch

Mitch, this is a splendid scene, really good work. I don't want to ignite one of those god awful ' K&C do/don't go up in value' debates, but I think this set may be one of those more rare releases in years to come.

This is great fun, thanks for starting the thread Rob. Lots of terrific pictures from everyone. I'll contribute a few more{eek3} How about some RAF

Duke, fine work here too. I just love the atmosphere you've managed to capture here with your lighting, you've done the few proud!^&grin Man I LOVE this hobby{bravo}}

Well as Wayne has started us on a ''Tiger fest'' here are a few pics of some of mine and some conversions I have done. Tunisian tiger for me and I have said it before is the best Tiger K&C did and I had to get two from e-bay to do the two versions here. I also still really like the winter and wittmann tigers regardless of scale and others stuff just nice tigers from their day. The snow tiger a really nice model with a kursk tiger repainted into a leningrad tiger. finally two ''uber tigers'' konigstiger and jagdtiger
