The next batch of our German Kubelwagen's have arrived with 3 new variants to choose from.

ACC PACK 013B in an early war grey colour scheme.

ACC PACK 013C Desert camouflage scheme.

ACC PACK 013D Desert Kubelwagen in the personal colour scheme of 158 aerial kills, fighter Ace Hans-Joachim Marseille. This car was painted by Italian ground crew for Marseille and is adorned with some beautiful looking animals adorning the words 'Otto' which were also hand painted onto the side of the car. Otto is the Italian word for the number 8 and commemorates Marseille shooting down 8 Allied aircraft in one day, a record for the Desert theatre.

All Kubelwagen's in this release are priced at $89/£75 each and limited to 100 in number worldwide.

Please note the Desert versions have hand painted green camouflage stripes as per the real wartime Kubelwagens. For those of you looking for a less authentic Hollywood type looking vehicle then this model probably not for you, for those of you who appreciate reality over fake news then this model definitely for you!

As you can see the Kubelwagen looks great with a couple of your favourite figures stood next to it or on its own say in an airfield diorama or outside a Head-Quarters, another possibility is to portray it with Allied soldiers and some German prisoners, or even dead and wounded Germans surprised in an ambush!

Some new pictures of our recent re-releases for those of you not sure how Rom 001, 005, 043 and 044 work together. As you can see when combined they make a fearsome looking formation. ROM043 stands in the second rank with Pilum skewed slightly to the right so he can engage the enemy along with the first rank ROM001 if required. Rom005 and 044 march at the rear with Pilum raised.

ACCPAK 016 features a Scorpion with Legionnaire shielding his eyes from the sun and a basket of arrows ready to be fired.

The Scorpio or Scorpion was a torsion catapult powered by torsion springs. Scorpions could be designed to fire stones or arrows or various sizes. They could be used as siege weapons but were typically used on the battlefield as small scale artillery. It is known that Julius Caesar used them in Gaul and Scorpions are also portrayed on Trajans column. A battery of these could present a fearsome deterrent on the battlefield and Scorpion's were also employed on the parapets of forts and on top of siege engines.

Although some of you will prefer to display the Scorpio with just the figure that accompanies the set, it really comes alive with ROM 099,100 and 101 figures which were recently released with our Onager, some of which we still have in stock.

Scorpion and Legionnaire Priced at $99/£89 and unlimited so long as demand warrants.

ROM107 Fighting Optio. The Optio was second in command to the Centurion and was most likely to replace him should he be wounded or killed in action. He is considered to be equivalent to the Executive Officer found in many infantry Battalions to this day. He was also responsible for discipline and was also issued with a wooden staff (Hastile) for this purpose. Our Optio is an all action figure and is putting his Gladius to good use as well as his staff to batter the enemy into submission!

This magnificent figure priced at $55/£47.50 per figure and limited to 150 in number worldwide.
