Perrys 8th Army
« on: March 22, 2013, 09:00:18 AM »
There is a note in this month's WI that they are nearly ready and they may be available at Salute.....  Anyway, production is imminent and, I assume, the DAK will be next....

Woohoo! Looking forward to these too, no doubt it will be some time before they reach the antipodes though.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Command sprue pics were put onto TMP a few days ago.

Apparently they are going to be there for Salute, all being well, with the Afrika Korps to follow in (they hope) June or thereabouts...

hmmm
now all what is missing would be a special sprue with French accessoires (kepi, large berets, bonnet de police, garlic sausage, wine bottles, little dogs, some weapons, maybe some raised arms) and of we go the french reconquista!

Well, they are working on metal Italians, so I would not be surprised to see a big desert range appear later this year......

Thanks for the pictures, Captain, I hadn't seen these.....

Can't wait to see these next to my Valentine Mk.I and II and Crusader Mk.I, II, and III casts. Shameless plug... :)

Maybe, but you know folks will buy lots of British and DAK; Italians and French will be much lower sales.

Maybe they think that a few poses are enough and so multi pose plastic is not needed.
Remember the 20mm Foundry Colonial WW2 Italians sculpted by the twins? Ten times the same figure.

I think you mean libyans.
