AK110 is a quiet figure with a definite task. King & Country’s medical officer stands with a clipboard in one hand and a pencil extended in the other, apparently indicating something while giving a report.
AK095 puts a seated gunner behind a single 2 cm Flak 38 on its ground firing mount. The slim barrel projects from a shield that rises around the operator, while the low, spread-out base keeps the whole assembly close to the ground.
The AK084 Panzerjäger I looks as though its gun has outgrown the vehicle beneath it. King & Country mounts the Czech-designed 4.7 cm anti-tank gun on a Panzer I chassis, behind a tall angular shield.
The bonnet shape and open driving position of AK077 look different from the German trucks around it, and that difference is the point. King & Country depicts a captured British Morris CS8 15 cwt truck with a German driver.
King & Country’s AK076 is a single military policeman whose equipment makes his occupation immediately legible. He wears a tropical sun helmet with goggles above the brim, a green tunic and pale trousers gathered above his boots.
AK075 combines an unmistakably Italian tank shape with conspicuous German crosses. King & Country’s Afrika Korps M13/40 has a compact riveted hull, a rounded turret and a crew figure visible at the open hatch.
AK054 changes the activity on the shelf from fighting to filming. King & Country pairs a standing correspondent holding a microphone with a cameraman leaning into a movie camera on a tripod.
The tall enclosed body of AK052 immediately separates it from an ordinary supply lorry. King & Country’s Funkkraftwagen is a radio truck with an Afrika Korps driver, finished in brown mottling over a sandy base.
King & Country’s AK037 Opel Blitz gives a desert collection something every tank needs: transport behind it. The truck comes with an Afrika Korps driver, a detailed cab and a removable rear canopy; the release description also specifies rolling wheels.
There is a pleasing imbalance to King & Country’s AK008: the rider sits high over the motorcycle while his companion is tucked down in the sidecar, behind a mounted machine gun. The two-man combination has a sandy finish, a spare wheel behind the passenger and luggage that makes the small vehicle look ready for a journey.
