This set includes 6 superbly detailed 12mm/1:144 scale tanks.

As one of the most advanced tanks of its time, the T34 was known for its exceptional speed, manoeuvrability, and armour protection, making it a formidable weapon on the battlefield. With its revolutionary, sleek, sloping armour design, the T34 could deflect enemy fire. And with its 76.2mm gun and then up-gunned to the 85mm in 1944 It's safe to say the T-34 played a decisive role in driving back the German offensive and shaping the outcome of World War 2.

This kit is packed with tank riders and various tank commanders, providing options for T34/85, T34/76 and also the chKZ cast turret. We have also made two types of wheel configurations, the spoked and dished versions.

A little tank, some light armour and some armoured cavalry.

 

 

Welcome all the Baccus weekly update. I’ve a few bits and pieces to cover, so let’s get the immediate issue out of the way with this week’s order number reached, which this time is #23454.
With this out of the way, it’s time for the new releases of the week, and yes, you’ve guessed it, there’s a bit of a World War 2 theme to them.

We’ll kick off with a couple of British light recce vehicles; a Morris mkII light recce car and for those who really value novelty over effectiveness, a Beaverette mkIII light recce car.

And new we move over to those pesky Germans who can now field a 10.5cm leFH18/40 field gun. For those who remember the sitcom ‘Allo Allo’, we have Lieutenant Gruber’s ‘little tank’ in the form of an Sdkfz 222.
As ever, we’ve more from where these came from, but other ranges are also taking shape. The various bits and pieces for the new Great North War Polish (‘Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth’ to be more accurate but less concise), range are coming together nicely. Here’s another teaser, this time of the new Panczerny codes.

The full range should be out towards the end of this month, or the beginning of March. We’ll have these with us at Vapnartak this weekend for those who would like to seem them ‘in the flesh’ so to speak.
Talking of Vapnartak, if you still want to place a pre-order then you’re too late. Don’t let it stop you dropping by the stand and having a chat. For those of you reading this from some far-flung corner of the world and cursing the fact that you don’t have shows like this where you live, then now is the time to book a holiday in the UK in early July so that you can attend this year’s Joy of Six show, and help us celebrate its tenth anniversary.

The Sprue Shop – Jedburgh Team

PREORDER - RELEASED EARLY/MID February £10.80 UK free postage

02 Hundred Hours expansion set.
New models designed to work in a Partisan force.
Jedburgh teams each consisted of three men: generally a British or American commander, a liaison officer who was native to the area (France, Belgium, Netherlands, etc) and a non-commissioned radio operator.

Their role was to meet up with the local partisan movement, assist them with planning and leadership, arrange supply drops of weapons and equipment, and coordinate attacks.

Their rules provide benefits for Partisans in the same force, and for this reason their Recruitment cards are included in the Partisan Resistance Cell box, not in this set. For example, the Jedburgh Liaison gives the Partisans 3 more Plan cards to choose from, while the Jedburgh Non-Comm allows you to give one Partisan the Spare Ammo card.

If you want to use them without Partisans then it's best to use the rules for SAS or RM Commandos.
The figures are armed with a Mk II(S) 'Silenced' Sten gun and M1A1 carbines (paratrooper model with folding stock).
This set contains:
3 28mm metal character miniatures:
Jedburgh Officer
Jedburgh Liaison
Jedburgh Non-Comm
Bases
NB. Recruitment cards are included in the Partisan Resistance Cell box, not in this set.
Models supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue and paints not included. Contents may vary from photos. You will need the 02 Hundred Hours Starter Set in order to play.
