King & Country takes off

King & Country made some large model aircraft several years ago that are now highly collectable, and they are now planning a new squadron. King and Country are well known for their highly detailed 1/30 scale (60 mm) military figures and vehicles, and the new aircraft range will complement these fine pieces.

I've been pleased to note that this company have made continued improvements to their models over the years. To the degree that they are now the standard by which other military figure manufacturers in 1/32 - 1/30 scale are measured.

Please note that the following two aircaft models are actually workshop models and not factory made examples as they have not yet entered into series production. These two models are hand made and only five of each were produced. The company is now working on a much more affordable “Warbird” series that will be “factory-built” and, I hope, more affordable to the general collector.

Btw, I've heard a rumour that a Fiesler Storch may also be in the new range, which I'm sure will please many.

With the apparent demise of Corgi 1/32 for a while, it's pleasing to see more biggies on the horizon. Note that the figures are made by King & Country, who also produce the Delprado range. They are in 1/30 scale (60 mm high) and are for size reference only.

What do you guys think of them?

And my favourite King & Country vehicle (Hummel) with the new improved track detail (aren't she sweet).
