Quiet for several weeks, The Collectors Showcase has begun to shed light on the first batch of new products expected in 2013. Likely due out in February, their first set of figures is based around the US 2nd Infantry Division after it moved inland from Omaha Beach in Normandy. Several figure sets will be offered along with a 1:30 scale reproduction of a 57mm anti-tank gun. Look for further product details in the days ahead.
According to the BBC, a pair of British civilians are restoring a World War II-era Avro Lancaster to flying condition. Paying homage to their elder brother who piloted and was subsequently killed in a Lanc during the War, the rebuilt Lancaster is based in Lincolnshire and can already ferry passengers around the taxiway. Their hope is to get the Lancaster into flying condition later this year. For further information, check out this web page:
