I used to have a second wood version of the M113, but I gave it to my good buddy Hans as a gift when he started collecting the Vietnam series. They are rare, but well worth the effort to find. The hatches on the wood version are hinged and open and close, and there is a hollowed out space inside to hold a half figure or standing figure without a base. They are really among the best of K&C's efforts with vehicles.
 
Thanks Louis!

I will certainly keep my eye out for one!

John,

If I'm not mistaken you got one a few months back when there were a whole bunch of rare resin items on ebay that we were all trying to get :)

This is my virgin message on this or any site.K&C do a great job on there toy soldiers.Being a South east Asian company is this the reason they have not done the Vietnam series . So much good history here on both sides.I would like to see Australian and U.S soldiers in action together as the Two countrys have shared so much blood in battlefields overs the years.I have a older brother who only started to march on ANZAC day two years ago who is now proud of what he did way back then.Is there any other collectors out there who would like to see this series.Maybe if Andy at K&C can see how many there is out there he may want to run a special edition .I would love to see Long tan & kae san as limited editions.To you K&C love you work the best . Regards Tankman1.

You've put forth a great idea. Joint Ops WWII PTO Series Outstanding.
You may be right why the Vietnam series is not made, but I don't think so. I've been there and got that T-shirt.
Welcome to the forum & thanks for putting a little info about yourself make the forum more fun.

Hi mate I was surprised to even get one comment let alone more than Ten.I could tell you a story about Simpson & his famous donkey but lets see ! He was a medical attendent on the Gallipoli battle fields in WW1 .He saved many wounded soldiers on both sides by carrying them out of harms way on a donkey.He was famous and every Aussie kid learns about him at school.I could tell you alot more about him but in the short he was seen doing amazing things under fire to get to the wounded.He gave his life there to save others.Go and look at any Anzac site for WW1 and you should not have any trouble finding all you want to no about this man.Thankyou for asking as He is a man who should not be forgotton .My name is Chris & I own a corgi dog.P.S S.A.S trained of course.

Chris
Thanks for a great bid of history. You will find on this forum there are a very great many dog lovers & a few go for cats.
Jazzman may change from a cats to a dogs. He stepped on his going down his stairs and took a fall. I have 3 dogs and they are great company to me, Corgi's look great but I don't know anything about them.
What is P.S.S.A.S ?
 
Didn't she attract huge criticism and bitterness(to this day)for appearing at anti war rallys?.I know squat about vietnam but i'm sure i read that somewhere.

Rob
 
In fact just a couple of years ago at a book signing someone spat in her face?Some people refuse to forgive her.

Rob
 
Hi Rob.

How are you today? Thanks, I didn't realise that. I only think of Jane Fonda as 'Barbraella'!

Jeff
 
I'm fine mate and you?.As i say i'm sure many experts on here can fill you in but i'm sure thats the deal.I maybe wrong but she may have even spoken out against the U.S Army enraging the nation,but i'm happy to be proved wrong on that one.

Rob
 
Yes, she did for going to North Vietnam and some people in the USA hate her for that while some people like her (not necessarily for that). Suffice it to say, she's still considered a divisive figure.

That is all I want to be said about her here and I don't want this to be an occasion for political discussion. Anything like that, I will pull posts.
 
Had no intention of being political at all Brad.Was just answering Jeff's question.Cheers

Rob
 
Yes I'm ok for a Tuesday??

I've just done a bit of 'Googling' about her and it appears that you are correct on that one.

Brad, Oh dear, I didn't know that. I just wanted to know why that appeared on the side of one of K&C's M113's, thats all.

Thanks
