Impressive. I believe less than a dozen were made.

Impressive. I believe less than a dozen were made.

Andy told me it was about 30, but still, that makes this the rarest of the regular production sets. Here is a quote from the text for the books on the subject:

The five original Waffen SS sets, as described above were repainted in matt, and renumbered WS01-WS04, and WS06. The only change to the positioning of the figures was to the tank crew, WS04. This set, the rarest of the matt SS sets, is only depicted in the June-July, 1997 flyer, standing alongside the resin and metal Jagdpanther, and is omitted from all the price lists except the February, 1996 list, which indicates the set is being re-designed, but omits the price, and the March, 1998 Dealer’s Price List. The subsequent collectors’ price lists skip from WS03 to WS05. The Tank commander in the fully black uniform now holds binoculars in his right hand at waist level, with a book held extended down in his left hand. The crewman in the completely camouflaged jumpsuit now has both hands on his hips, arms akimbo. One crewman in a gray tunic and camo pants now holds a MP40 Schmeisser sub-machinegun extended down in his left hand, with his right hand on his hip, arm akimbo. The other crewman in a gray tunic and camo pants now holds a pistol extended down in his right hand, and a cigarette in his left hand. In the March, 1998 Dealer’s Price List this set retailed for $77.

Another rare set, although I don't know the quantities made, is the Free French.

Salut Serge,

Est-ce que ce sont tes nouveaux K&C que tu as reçus ?
Ils ont de la gueule


Ils s'agenceront magnifiquement à ton display, j'en suis certain.
