Re: New King & Country 88mm Halftrack


Me too! It has always been my favorite in the series because it was so compact.

Pretty cool they did the up armored variant of it.

Re: New King & Country 88mm Halftrack

I have their first release of their Panzer Mk I and they did a good job with it. The tank commander adds the right touch to it. This new one has much more detail and adds another crew member!!
 

Looking forward to annoying the 'former' Florida Diecast Forum members!!

Re: New King & Country 88mm Halftrack

I like the K&C items overall but don't like the "tank treads" on all the tanks I seen. They could do a better job to make them more realistic.

Re: New King & Country 88mm Halftrack

Hey Mike,

The treads have long been an issue with the K&C vehicles. They have really improved in the last year or two. If you look at the panzer I picture you can see between the standing figures legs and through the tracks. If you look at some of the older vehicles it would be all solid from one end of the tracks to the other.

Here is a picture of one of their earlier tanks.



thanks
Ronnie

Re: New King & Country 88mm Halftrack

I fully agree that the Panzer I is awesome. I wish they can produce a SdKfz 222 armour car as well. An Afrika Korps version would be perfect.

K&C has definitely improved on the quality of their armour vehicles' tracks in their more recent models. The tanks threads on the M-10 winter version that I own look definitely more realistic than the King Tiger.

K & C issued a Afrika Korps version of the SdKfz 222 armoured car several years ago. It has since been retired and costs heaps on eBay, maybe they will issue a different version in the near future.
