Just think with KC wide range of German item made so far a V weapon range would do very well and wonder what the interest would be ?
 
I am surprised that they haven't dabbled there toes into this range and I think they would do a good job . Chris.
 
There are not so many V weapons left to do or you have to venture into the weapons that only existed on paper . Not so interesting to have in my opinion !!!!!!
K & C did one a couple of years ago and I do not think there was a great demand for it ( It was a K& C imaginary weapon that not even existed on paper in the 40's)

Thing is if KC made a v2 it would sell as some people only collect KC and don't mix and match with other company's as for the other item they made it no wonder it did not sell ^&grin
 
Figarti have done the theme well though they have only focused on the main two that people have heard of the V1 and the V2 (keeping in theme though as only Wittmann fought against all allies!!) and TG are now entering this.

For me K&C V series would probably be too expensive and would more than likely focus on the well known rather than the plethora of other weapons that were produced.

I doubt I would go for it as I am fixed on getting TG and the odd Figarti but, as is the way in this hobby when one company releases something everyone else seems to follow so, we have multiples of the same item on the market at the same time!!! Only issue is how many V weapons do you really need? Most people I know who have them buy one as its a different thing in their collection but, don't want multiples.

To follow up a range initiated by another manufacturer I think that you would need to be convinced that

1. You would do it better
2. You would take the range somewhere new by developing it further
3. The demand would be still there from those who are already collecting it and that it would attract at least as many new collectors.

I have only seen photographs of the figarti pieces. They seem very nice so I suspect Number 1 is out. I doubt whether there is much potential to expand the range so Number 2 is probably out as well. I do not move in wide enough circles to comment meaningfully on Number 3 but my uninformed view would be 'no' to it too. Plenty of other things to do.
 
If K&C did make one I am sure it would be phenomenal. However V rockets just do not do it for me. They seem to be very limited on how you set them up. You can either show them being transported or ready to launch. The whole thing is a little too NASA for me.
 
I'd like to see K&C do V weapons, but I don't think they will now.

I would rather see them do other luftwaffe items like ground crew, a refueler or bowser and above all normandy fallschirmjager

Well the fuel truck were used by the Luftwaffe and for fuelling the V2 but think some other company will make one before KC do:wink2:

Don't know about that mate,thats a strange thing to say IF K&C did do a V range it would be just as good as any other maker.
Don't tell me FIGARTI haven't had there probs with the V range.

Flaking paint that is/was a huge problem i still have a undisplayable vehicle here sitting in a box of paint flakes.
Don't know why your bringing up the new TIGER its not a V weapon...^&confuse......^&grin
 
I loved the paint flakes!!! It was however a right pain trying to piece it all back together!! I think the simple fact is that V weapons don't sell, if they did K&C would make them. Unless your wanting the whole set up like Neil has then its a relatively small group who will want them. I am having to make special dio's which will fit the wall for the ones I have and I don't have anything near what you two have.

Look what happened when K&C did try to make one the 'realisticjager'!!!LOL For me chaps they are better sticking with trying to make as many words and releases from the letter 'P' than starting with 'V'
