Norscot and First Gear both offer some Military construction equipment. Norscot makes Caterpillar equipment in 1:50 scale. Here a few of their offerings.

The Chaffee retails for $129. There is one figure that you can't see with that picture. It is a prone rifleman that is riding on the tank. King & Country figure sets are running at $25 a figure now.

Yes these are 1:30 scale. They do look good. I particulary like the Battle of the Bulge series.

Here are two of the latest vehicles from King & Country. First up is the M24 Chaffee Tank (Winter Camo) BBA018 . This vehicle includes three figures and comes in a winter camo pattern. They have announced that there will be an olive drab version some time in 2008. http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg....

From everything I have heard most people are very impressed with this model. It has the expected K&C quality with both the aircraft and the figures. One interesting note to be aware of is that there is no evidence that this aircraft ever went beyond the drawing board. It doen't appear that even a pr...

King & Country is actually 1:30 scale. They were supposed to be adding to their line of moderately priced warbirds but so far no luck. Currently they are producing super limited runs of 20 pieces per model at around $800-900. I think they are having a hard time finding a factory that can provide the...

King & Country has been doing this for a number of years now. For the most part it seems to be well received. Here are a couple of their previous releases. http://site.crossroadsdiecast.com/XM003-01.jpeg http://site.crossroadsdiecast.com/XM005-01.jpeg http://site.crossroadsdiecast.com/XM006-01.jpeg ...

Here are two Christmas sets for you. The King & Country set is based on the Christmas Truce of 1914.

King & Country has started to improve thier tracks. If you look at last years M-10 Tank Destroyer you can see much improvement over some of their earlier tanks. http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/yhst-94511236631939_1973_9450421.jpg http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/yhst-94511236631939_...

Figarti has some LRDG items in 1:32. Their figures are not quite as good as King & Country but their vehicles are good.

These do add up quick. I know some collectors who actually prefer the Forces of Valor vehicles to the K&C vehicles. K&C has definitely made some large improvements in the last year or two but it is still hard to go wrong with Forces of Valor, both for the quality and the price. Some of the collector...

This one is going for $199. That includes three full body figures and one half figure. They are expecting for this to sell out rather quickly.

King & Country has announced their next Strictly Limited item. This will be a Afrika Korps Tiger tank. This vehicle will be limited to 1250 pieces and will be available in December. King & Country Desert Tiger Tank AK039 Strictly Limited (1:30) Pre Order Dec http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I...

King & Country is expensive, no doubt about that. The M5 is listed at $129. Their soldiers usually sell for about $25 for a single figure and their is three figures in this set. Forces of Valor will be going up in price again toward the first of the year so a tank with figures will probably be aroun...

Here is a diorama that King & Country made using the 21st Century Long Tom.
