Coming in "MAY 07"
Confederates coming in May!
The Generals
 
 
  
  
 
Special Note: All of these new figures work equally well as individuals or as small groups making up a vignette or diorama. The quality of sculpting, painting and character is…second-to-none.
Look out for more American Civil War pieces later this year.
ACHTUNG!
Our WW2 fans won’t feel neglected either because May will also see the release of some rather unusual additions to our German armed forces..
Ready in Late May/Early June

“German T34”
During the initial assaults on Soviet Russia in 1941 and 1942 the Germans captured massive amounts of Russian arms and equipment. One of the weapons that impressed them most was the recently revealed T34 tank. So enamored of it were the Nazis that they incorporated hundreds of them into service with minimal changes. These included additional side skirts…some extra armor and, in certain instances, a new top turret hatch courtesy of the existing Panzer III’s and IV’s. To ensure they were not attacked by their own side the Germans painted these “captured” T34’s in typical 3 colors camouflage and outsized “Balkan” crosses on the turret sides. Our K&C model also has a Nazi recognition flag tied onto one of its rear appendages. Three German tank crew figures accompany the vehicle which is in the familiar markings of the 2nd SS Armored Division “DAS REICH”. |
And now for something more than a wee bit different…read on…

“The Fuhrer’s Last Fighter”
By the latter stages of the war Hitler and his generals were desperate for “wonder weapons” that could reverse the unstoppable tide of Allied conquest. One such “wonder weapon” was the Focke-Wulf “Rammjager”…a jet piloted by members of the Hitler jugend! Pilots were to literally ram their aircraft towards large formations of enemy bombers before ejecting…if possible. To ensure no second thoughts the aircraft was provided with no landing gear…not even a skid! This “Top Secret” K&C aircraft comes complete with a young pilot (in the cockpit), a Luftwaffe guard and a flight instructor. The “Rammjager” itself is mounted on a separate towing trolley. |
Also, New Releases from John Jenkins for May 2007
This month also sees the first set, based around a whole new series on the French and Indian War. The “Battle of the Plains of Abraham” 13th September 1759, was a pivotal battle in this encounter between the British and the French armies, in deciding the fate of New France. It was fought on a plateau just outside and to the west of the walls of Quebec City, and was the culmination of a three month long siege of the city. The actual battle lasted less than an hour, during which time, tactics devised by the British commander, General James Wolfe, proved successful in breaking the column advance of French and Canadian troops under The Marquis de Montcalm. Both generals were mortally wounded during the battle.
THE 47th REGIMENT OF FOOT.
The 47th Regiment of foot, played a key role in the French and Indian War. They were under Wolfe's command at the Siege of Louisburg, and were one of the key regiments in the British battle line at The Battle of The Plains of Abraham. Wolfe was so well-respected by the men of the 47th, that to commemorate the Death of Wolfe in the battle, the regiment began wearing a black line in their lace and were also given the nickname "WOLFE'S OWN"
These sets are designed to allow collectors to build up large units of similar figures. The Infantry sets have 3 figures in the same pose with slight variations. The sets are limited to 750 sets. The figures are sculpted with the bayonet leveled in the manner first introduced by Wolfe at Quebec, to combat the French Infantry who attacked in Column.
