Looking to build upon the success of their Armored Fighting Vehicles of World War II line, the owner of the range has decided to expand the series to now include soft-skinned vehicles. Six new WWII-era 1:43 scale vehicles were shown on their site, covering everything from DUKW amphibious trucks to M16 motor carriages. Interestingly, all six vehicles are based upon vehicles drawn from the US inventory. It is hoped that as the series expands, vehicles from other user-nations will be added. We’ve listed all of the vehicles on our web site and expect them to storm our shores some time this summer.
The packaging for this new series is very reminiscent of the type used for the AFV’s of WWII line. Like the AFVs series, each vehicle in the Militaria range sits atop an etched based and is nestled within a handsome heavy acrylic display case. Eventually, as product sells out within the AFVs line and more product is called for, the new packaging will bear the Militaria Diecast logo rather than the AFV moniker all in an effort to maintain a consistent look and appearance across all of their sub brands.
