A couple new Vietnamese girls on Vespas for your Vietnam displays and some repaints of the sailors they made in white about 10 years ago. These are in Navy Blue and are in uniform for World War II. The last series to mention is the new "Kokoda: The Long Bloody Trail" series that takes place in 1942. These Australians or Aussie ‘diggers’, are dressed in ‘Jungle Green.'

The first release will be available next week.

ORDER: NEW K&C

Crow Family Travois, The Crow, The Fur Trade--two Indian figures mounted on horse pulling travois & horse. This item was made in short supply. We were shorted and more will be made at some point.
