12mm WW2 8th army and Afrika Korps update:
A bit of an update for all your 12mm WW2 fans out there!The 8th army infantry frame is off to be tooled now so should be ready in a few weeks.We changed this frame composition up a little on this set by adding in a 2pdr antitank gun and crew to give them a little more firepower. The 2pdr comes with a chassis for limbered and unlimbered. If limbered you can use this in conjunction with the Victrix 12mm Universal carriers released earlier this year (this has desert crew options)You get a good mix of riflemen, Tommy Gunner NCO’s, Bren gunners (more added to this set due to customer demand) Officers, Mortar crew, radio operators, mine detectors for those pesky German minefields which played such an important role in the North African campaign, and Vickers and crew.We did have some people mention they thought the bayonet was too early, however to make the later bayonet at 12mm it was just far too fragile. It would snap a lot and possibly not even tool! So we went with the sword bayonet which is more robust and won’t break.You will get 4 double frames in each set.For those eager to know, we have also started work on the 12mm Afrika Korps. 8 figures in so a little way to go, but not too long before they are off to be tooled.
Yasmin has been doing a fabulous job on all these latest 12mm releases and seems to get better with each new release. The detail levels are great and we are really trying to push the boundaries on what we can produce. Even down to the eagle badge over the right breast pocket on the Germans! You will notice that some of the German infantry have 2 water bottles hanging from their belts. Water was so important in the desert and they would carry as much as they could. We have also added goggle and face scarves on some which adds a real flavour to the miniatures.
