King and Country Armor

Gambit · Post by **Gambit** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 5:47 pm

I've been looking at some of the King and Country vehicles to display with my 1:32 planes. Might buy a few to see what they're like.

Does anyone on the Forum collect them?

I know they're expensive, but are they worth the money?

K&C are like apples and oranges, K&C apples, others oranges.
They are the best figures produced, however if you are more into vehicles consider FOV & 21st.
K&C are not compatable with any other line.
Any further questions email me at lkuepfert@aol.com.

See the Mike's Diecast site K&C section:

I do collect K&C and must say, in my opinion the are definitely worth the money. Best figures available.

I have seen the figures and they are some of the best I have ever seen.. The vehicles are nice, but are solid resin pieces that don't move..

Believe me, you'll want to put them on a pedestal rather than move them anywhere. Excellent vehicles despite non-moving tracks. (The wheels on the trucks and jeeps do move). However, I prefer the figures. One problem is the compatibility issue. You've got to decide whether you've shelf-space to run separate dioramas and so forth. Very rewarding to collect, in fact the less that are on display the more that people will see the detail.

The K&C product line is 1/30 scale, and unweathered.
If your 1/32 scale airplanes are 1/32 scale 21st century toys, then I would buy 21C 32X tanks and vehicles.
If the 1/32 scale airplanes are Forces of Valor, then I would buy 1/32 FOV tanks and vehicles.
If the 1/32 scale airplanes are Corgi, then I would buy 1/35 scale Minichamps tanks.

Thanks for all the help, much appreciated.

I have Corgi 1:32 scale planes Mustangs, Spits and Mosquito.
The Corgi ground crew figures are about 2.5 inchs or 6cm.
I was thinking about the K&C Truck, Weapons Carrier or some of the MP's
