“FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS”
To coincide with the launch of Clint Eastwood’s epic movie “Flags Of Our Fathers” – the story of the flag raising on Iwo Jima - K&C are launching their latest “Iwo” sets of Japanese. To mark that event and to revitalize the entire USMC range, K&C has come up with six spectacular new Japanese infantry sets to replace and dramatically improve upon their older Japanese military sets. You’ll find them in a wide variety of action poses and utilizing a seldom seen array of Japanese weaponry...
These new figures are divided into 1,2 and 3-men sets allowing for maximum flexibility and affordability.
  
  
“RETURN TO THE BULGE”
The last two winters have seen K&C focus their WW2 releases on the famous “Battle of the Bulge” – this year is no exception. Our 2006 release will not disappoint the thousands of collectors who love this winter-themed range
  
  
Attention – Strictly Limited!!!
“GENERAL INSPECTION”. Our latest “Strictly Limited” piece and our last one of 2006 – and it’s very special.
Near the end of 1944 and into ’45 as the Allies entered the Third Reich, American tank crews suffered appalling losses at the hands of German anti tank guns and mobile rocket launchers like the “Panzerfaust” and the “Panzerschrek”. Their under- armoured Shermans and Stuarts were destroyed in their hundreds by these hand-held rocket launchers.
To help protect their vehicles and themselves they took to “gaffer rigging” steel frames on their tanks and filling them with sandbags. Although this did indeed provide added protection and was popular with the crews it was hated by the “top brass”. The “brass” believed it wore out tank engines “too quickly” and was making crews “less aggressive”. General George S. Patton was particularly offended by “sand-bagging” and vehemently opposed and forbid it in the units under his command.
Here a luckless Sherman M4A3 (with the long 76mm gun) and its crew have been “caught in the act”. A General officer, with one of his aides, is giving the crew a “dressing down” on their slovenly appearance and their “sand-bagged” tank. This latest “Strictly Limited” comes with 5 Sherman crew figures plus the General and his staff officer and, of course, its very own special packaging.
Just 1250 are being produced. Order yours now!
And now from another era, here come more Napoleonic troops. November is indeed another great month for Napoleonic fans
“Royal Horse Artillery in Action”
The much requested, long awaited British Napoleonic Artillery – The Royal Horse Artillery, dismounted, unlimbered and preparing to fire their field piece…
  
And now for the French… Since K&C has retired their earlier Voltigeurs, many K&C collectors have requested more French Line Infantry… All the better to fight off those Scots Greys and Black Watch!
All the figures are based on Infantrymen of the 45th Line Infantry Regiment
