Could a Mini Art British armoured car be on the way? perhaps a daimler or AEC? They may even consider some North African buildings as these are 8th army troops.

Doh! I was just told that for some peculiar reason i'd given the scale (in the NewsItem) as 1/48th... It is of course 1/35th scale... Thanks John

perfect!!!! and a lot of possibilities to mix summer and winter dresses as seen in North Africa and Italy

Jim, I think you're working too hard !! Time to sit down, put up your feet and sip a wobbly pop or two or three.......... !!! Cheers jjumbo

One thing folk should bear in mind is that a lot of Czech and Polish units fought alongside Commonwealth units using the same equipment, same uniforms, etc. Those of us who like building Commonwealth stuff are largely benefiting from manufacturers catering to their home market. Fortunately, said home markets seem to like dioramas, with the end result that we're getting usefully posed figures. However, since the Poles and Czechs fought with the Commonwealth troops, the gaping hole that is "useful in-action US tank crews" remains, um, gaping. While there are plenty "US tanker" figures, it appears they spent their time leaning against tanks, standing around smoking or filling jerrycans, and didn't actually get into their tanks very often, if what's available on the market is to believed.

HiJim When are these supposed to be released.

Any chance that the figures in long pants could be used for NW Europe? Brian

No problems at all for the Normandy period. The Denim Tanksuit was quite prevalent despite most authoritave texts describing its intro to service as Oct 43 when Photos clearly show it in use pre Jun 44. I feel they got the Tank Oversuit (Pixie suit) mixed up as they list this as late 43 when it appears it was actually late 44. A great set of very useful figures for a variety of Allied vehicles Al

Thanks Al!
