Oh these are good,real good.Looks like there is snow in the tracks of the Hetzer.I guess I question why it wasn't white washed to a winter paint scheme.Don't get me wrong I love the pea dot or ambush colour but I think it would have looked just as good or better in the white.Just would go along with the rest of the sets.

Very nice!! I want them!

I would say the two tanks on the right and left look quite neat. I'm no expert so can somebody id them?

I must have missed something, what exactly are the German Bob pieces?
Are they done by King and Country?
Thanks

Hey Njja(John) they are the Battle of the Bulge(or Best of Best) series.
Totally K&C.We do need some German or Allied painted winter casualties of war though.A good battle diorama needs some dead and wounded to add to the realism....Andy????

John,

These are the forthcomng (September) King and Country issues of the Battle of Bulge Germans. Not sure how George got them. I believe if you do a search there's been some conversation about them.

Brad,

The two armored vehicles are the Hetzer and the Grille I had mentioned in my posts when I came back from Boston. George must have obtained copies of the photos Andy was showing around at the Boston show.

Regards,

Louis

I think there is a corporate spy at King and Country and those pictures were sold to the highest bidder.

I know what you mean by busting the proverbial budget.

The Bob Germans look great. Just what I've been waiting for. Still looking forward to another winter whitewash Tiger though. Sorry Louis.

I word to Andy. With so many sets now available, please don't use your Retirement Powers too liberally. Us, K&C diehards, will eventually get around to purchasing most of your sets, just give us a little time.

Njja is this white washed animal part of the BOB sets?Thats a new one even for Andy. I have to agree with Victory.Slow down a little on retiring some things Andy so us little guys can catch up.Switch to your Egyptian line or Streets of Hong Kong for a breather would ya...I guess were like farmers and rain.Complain when its too dry and then turn around and complain that its too wet.My dad still farms so I know there's truth to this.I hear it all the time..

Hey Louis, is Andy planning another tank for the bob series or are those tank riders designed for the ws king tiger?

It looks to me that the King Tiger can be used in the Ardennes also so I think those tank riders go with the Tiger for the Bulge.

Hey Louis, is Andy planning on doing another BOB tank for those new tank riders, or are they designed for the ws King Tiger.

It looks like we are missing a few crew members to operate this mammoth.
Here's the Hetzer
