M24 Chaffee Tank (olive drab) – nicknamed ”Rebel Rousers“ this M24 is ideal for action in early 1945 up to the end of the war in Europe in May ’45. Utilizing the same three figures as the ”winter“ one (minus the snow and frost of course) this little beauty works perfectly in any very late war scene. As a footnote, Chaffees were also well utilized post war. They saw action in Korea…Indo China… and the Middle East. They were also a big favorite of Hollywood…you can see Chaffees ”impersonating“ Shermans in ”Patton“ and ”Battle of the Bulge“. Two were even ”mocked-up“ to look like Panthers in ”Is Paris Burning“.

Classic Sherman – There are certain fighting vehicles that are essential to any WWII collection and the M4Sherman is one of them. Over the years, K&C has produced no less than 8 different versions…now, it’s number 9 and it’s a ”CLASSIC“ welded hull, early mark model of the most famous Allied tank of WWII. This latest addition to the Sherman collection comes with a couple of unique features…Firstly, it’s relatively free of the battlefield ”clutter“ seen on many wartime M4’s…It does however have 2 different loads of extra supplies that can be placed on or off (you choose) the rear deck of the tank. This allows collectors to buy one (and hopefully) more of this model to make different displays.

The tank also has two crew figures (driver and commander) in open hatches to add the ”personnel“ touch.
