Actual Pack Contents

[HHaase]

I just picked up the American Armored Combat Command 1942-1943 (US154)

It advertises a single jeep with MG, came with a full sprue of 6 jeeps and MG's
It also came with a couple spare gun sets for the M15 MGMC.

And a buddy of mine picked up the 1941 Afrika Korps combat command today (G157), which I took a good look through. Again, a few minor differences in content, with some bonus pieces.

Advertised 2 Motorcycles with sidecar, included 4
Advertised 2 mortar teams, included 5!
4x Machine gun teams instead of 2.
Infantry was 55 instead of 50, 6 of which appeared to be some kind of foward observer, down prone with binoculars.

This is a cool thread as it makes it so easy to plan out new units and make sure you have enough of the type your looking for.

The hoods are all up, however with a little micro filing you can make them look reasonably like they are wearig smocks and camo helmet covers.

Close-ups, man. We need CLOSE-UPS!

Really, Cav, those look like some mighty fine ground-pounders! Interesting variations on the uniforms, nice bases. Sure would appreciate more pics.

More pics.

More pics.

(Did I say that too many times? But hey, I always want ... well, you know. )

Another one for you guys. Wow does the US94 "Light AT Weapons" set get overpacked.

Advertised as 2/2/2 for Jeeps, Towed and Deployed 37mm's.
Came with 6/3/3
Gun crews are as-advertised at 2 crews

Advertised with 6/6 for kneeling and standing bazooka teams
Actual packed was 8/8 of the above. One full spare sprue.

I am very quickly building up a LOT of extra jeeps.

I just wanted to enquire on the actual pack content of #HUS9.

Don has told me that there was F18s inside but just to have final verification before i buy it, I want to ask anyone who owns HUS9 to verify if there are indeed actually F18s inside the set.

Because as stated on the HUS9 inventory there is
5 x F14 “Tomcatâ€￾ (folded wings)
5 x F14 “Tomcatâ€￾ (open wings)
4 x SH-3 “Sea Kingâ€￾
5 x A6 “Intruderâ€￾ (open wings)
5 x A6 “Intruderâ€￾ (folded wings)
3 x E2C “Hawkeyeâ€￾ (open wings)
6 x E2C “Hawkeyeâ€￾ (folded wings)
5 x S3A “Vikingâ€￾ (open wings)
5 x S3A “Vikingâ€￾ (folded wings)

However, I want to modify my CVN-71 Roosevelt to have the updated aircraft, that being F18s and no F14s or A6 for that matter. I don;t mind buying the HUS9 for these set of aircraft but only if i am sure to get F18s too.

Hope someone can help out.

Thanx

re: HUS9 contents

I want to make it clear that my information on HUS9 containing F-18s is second-hand; I do not have this item in my collection. If someone who has this can reply to exodusforever, I would be glad of confirmation in either direction.

G124, sIG 33, and G63, 150 mm Nebelwerfer, are described as including two prime movers, but the identiy of the prime mover is not specified in the description and the photo in the on-line catalog does not show the prime mover. Can anyone identify the vehicle included in G124 and G63?

Also, same question for UK48, 2 pdr anti-tank gun - what is the identity of the prime mover?

Yes indeed there are F-18's in HUS-9. There is a sprue each of wings extended and folded (6 of each on a sprue). They are very nice and accurate for their tiny size.

THank God!!!

i have been waiting for like forever for a second verification on this.

Thanks so much 33yearsinGHQ. Now i can go buy it and make my Carrier look better.

Cheers man!
