Dropping from the Sky!!!!
Not to steal from your post Gary.
Straight from Treefrog Treasures:
IN THE WORKS…D.DAY PLUS, PLUS, PLUS
As last year’s 60th Anniversary commemorations amply proved interest in D. Day continues unabated. So here’s what will be dropping from skies…and landing on the beaches!
US FORCES
Four additional sets of Paratroopers, Rangers and a great new DUKW amphibious transport vehicle. Here’s some details…
First our paratroopers – three REAL Paratroopers – by that I mean 3 ‘troopers actually parachuting… suspended beneath fully deployed ‘chutes.
The actual parachutes are cast in resin and come complete with actual cotton lines that suspend the paratrooper beneath. All three ‘troopers are in different poses and look fantastic suspended from the ceiling descending at different heights. If 3 look good, imagine how a “stick” of 15 or 20 will look!
In addition to the paras, there’s two 4-man sets of US Rangers on the beach. These will be a great add-on to the two Ranger sets (DD47 & DD48) already released. These new sets boast some really dynamic combinations of figures such as medics, wounded and radio operators directly inspired by the dramatic opening scenes of “Saving Pvt. Ryan”.
Finally supporting the GI’s is our latest US fighting vehicle – The DUKW amphibious transport. These were used in both the European and Pacific theatres of operations. Our model comes with rolling wheels, removable transport load and two full-figure crewmen. It’s big as well – approximately 13” long.
Releases dates to be announced.
BRITISH FORCES
Following the success of “Mr. Churchill’s Commandoes” last year, we’re also adding on four more sets of British (and Canadian) sets to this range.
Among these new sets will be a group of 4 more Commandoes in action including two more riflemen… a running Bren gunner and a Sten gunner firing his weapon from the hip.
Another great set depicts a Commando escorting two captured Waffen SS officers back to the beach – a British Military Policeman sitting astride his BSA/Triumph motorcycle looks on.
On the fighting vehicle side is a great new Bren Gun Carrier and our impressive “Staghound” Armoured Car. These vehicles were American built but used almost exclusively by British and Canadian forces. Our vehicle is in Canadian markings and comes with a 2-man (half-body) crew.
UNDER DEVELOPMENT
We’re also looking into the possibility of producing a range of scale model “Beach Obstacles” to complement all of this action on the Normandy sands.
Finally some Canadian troops.Yippy!!!Sounds like a good array of different sets.A paratrooper snagged on a Church Steeple would complete a "Longest Day" diorama.
Has anyone seen or heard from Double G lately.Hiatus or just to busy these days selling stuff.

K&C News
Wow! This is unexpected news. This sounds great especially the D-Day parachute sets but man I'm still playing catch up with all the other stuff thats just been released. I am always eager to hear of coming new sets but it wouldn't hurt to have a lull in releases for a few months.
WOW!!!
Andy and company have been busy! What a nice new selection of goodies! Gotta have the DUKW. Those new items are almost enough to make me start collecting Brits also! Anybody want to buy spare body parts that I'm not using? The money will be used to finance future K&C collection.
