Stowage items (1 Viewer)

I'd like to see some stowage items, tarps, crates, back packs, buckets and jerry cans for armored vehicles. A set of tracks wrapped around the front of a Sherman would be nice. Honour Bound may not make tanks anymore, but the stowage items on their Shermans were very nice. K&C makes great stowage, I'd buy extra pieces from them in a heartbeat. These could be sold as add on items which I believe would sell in large numbers.

I agree. The only available after market stowage in 1/30th is one set from Build-a-rama. It's not bad, but we need variety. Also the BAR foam tends to have annoying air holes. For US tanks more sleeping bags and fewer crates. The US troops also hung musette bags ("Bag, Canvas, Field, M1936") on about every vehicle running in Europe. We need more "junk" to add to all the 1/30th vehicles. K&C tanks generally come with a bunch of very nice and interesting stowage, the Figarti Shermans are bare as are many other vehicles out there. Some extra resin, lead or plastic stowage of various kinds really would help dress up vehicles and scenes.

Great suggestion. I think with K&C's recent foray into more than just figures/tanks like palm trees and deset buildings ( to name a few ) indicate they are trying to create more options for collectors to create fuller and richer dioramas. This isn't a precedent because I recall the old supply depot, Napoleonic Table/Chair, Berlin buildings etc. I'm not sure if these are great sellers but it is an opportunity for diversity of product line. Many other manufacturers do it. CS have created battlefield extra's even FOV includes battlefield extras ( various weapons, helmets, oil cans etc ) in their tank lineup!
