Road to El Alamein (1 Viewer)

K&C's little Panzer II Ausf. B (AK113) takes me back to the enjoyment of Rat Patrol episodes with Sgt. Troy foiling the many plots of Capt. Hans Dietrich. Armed with two jeep-mounted machine guns, a well-placed Molotov cocktail always found itself blowing up Dietrich's DAK yellow school bus convoy. Perhaps it's the commander's red goggles that remind me of the "shop glasses" that Eric Braeden always wore (a nice touch by K&C I might add). She's a bit pricey but a rather limited run. I had to break her out this morning to revisit.

The Panzer II also reminds me of color photographs I've seen in Osprey books and WWII artwork. She's a real beauty, the Panzer II Ausf. B (additional figures sold separately):

TWO -- nice set up, Rob.
The Hanomag could very well be outside my windows as the trees are now a blaze of color up here in Maine.

This one, Panzer II Ausf. B, is more likely to be in Sammy's back yard out there in the AZ desert ...{sm2}

Great positioning and figure choice to tell the story .. as is normal with your pic's!

And who couldn't love the "Rat Patrol"?

The Germans shoot 10,000 rounds at the onrushing Jeeps and they only suffer a scratch.
But Troy, Moffit, Hitchcock or Pettigrew fire their sidearms and up goes a German gas truck, a Hanomag two Panzers and a Messerschmidt flying at 15,000 feet .... {sm4}

YOU GOTTA' Love it!
