Well, there goes the kid's meal tickets for the next couple of months. Great (if not expensive) set of releases. Like the additional dio with the PzIII on it as well.

Carlos, many thanks for taking the time to snap away and post for those of us who can't make it. Much appreciated.

Great photos Carlos! Thanks for taking the time to post! The firefly, mortar team, and camera man are all added to my, "I want" list. Kudos to Andy for these new fantastic sets.

Best Regards,
Vick

I like the poses of the 3 guys in the comms jeep. It will go well with the other 2 jeeps to make a little convoy about to be ambushed unfortunately by a waiting kampfgruppe. Unless I rewrite history!
Also like the mortar crew and like the poses of the captured paras.
Camera man is a bit give or take as I'm more of an action pose fan.

Firefly looks cool and impressive and on a par with the Figarti version. The crew in tankers overalls make this an essential purchase.

The Tiger looks cool but then Tigers always seem to look cool. And somehow you can never have to many!

Kind of sums it up for me as well. I wonder if the two Brit tankers are an add on set. Most of the recent releases of armour have been 1 or 2 figures in the tank. Unless it's an SL, in which case the additional 2 would make sense.

Just got to dust off Rob's credit card number..... I know I've got it here somewhere....

I posted it to Andy at the westcoaster and told him to load it up!

The add on set idea seems likely though I think I'd prefer it all to be a complete set. The price would be similar to the recent pakwagen I'd guess.
I think the firefly deserves a special release with tank and complete crew. Oh and in a nice photo box too!

....and a few Commandos, to provide support.

Absolutely nothing against the new K&C tiger tank, but for me I,m tigered and shermaned out!
The same for any winter version of anything that has already been done.

Like the new Das Reich Kursk Tiger, and the 1914 French (with a flagbearer, to boot). -- lancer

Interesting choice of figure positioning.
Carlos, where you playing around with the figures?

Yes, it is a 1943 Das Reich SS-Panzer Grenadier Division Tiger which fought at Kharkov and then Kusk. The S33 was the number of an actual tank in schwere SS Panzer Kompanien - Panzer Regiment 2 of the Das Reich complete with what looks like the Springender Teufel (Springing Devil) unit insignia and the organizational tank symbol on the front.

Well done

Terry

Is the red car going to be a release?

Is the red car going to be a release?

Scott, I believe the car is New Ray, they're really cheap and are 1/30 scale too!

Definitely, Tiger S33 of 2.SS.Panzergrenadier-Division "Das Reich" as it appeared during the summer of 1943 (Kursk) and I must say it looks pretty good in the pictures.
