12 Pound Napoleon Cannon with 4 Confederate Artillery Crew
Since 1893, W.Britain has made toy soldiers for kids to play with – and we still do!
To accompany our popular, safety-tested Super Deetail Infantry and Cavalry toys we’ve just released brand-new Artillery sets. These sets represent the first new tooling for the plastic market in over 50 years! The soldiers are made of the same, rugged, painted plastic with sturdy zinc metal base only now sculpted with the strong, crisp detail you've come to expect from our connoisseur figure lines.
The cannons are made of metal and plastic giving them intricate and durable detail. And the wheels actually roll giving you maximum playability!
Super Deetail toy soldiers are play tested and approved for ages 3 and above. These hand-painted plastic figures are on metal bases so they’re sure to stand up on even the most grueling carpeted battlefields – and they’re super durable for years of action!
Conveniently packaged in window boxes, these sets make their own display and look great in or out of the box!
Included in each box is a sheet of additional flags and guidons. Personalize your troops with these handsome flags. Detailed yet simple instructions for application of replacement flags are supplied.

German Flak Crew Ammunition Handlers
Many variations of shipping containers for 8.8cm fixed rounds for the Flak 18 and 36/37 were made during WWII. These ranged from wooden or cylindrical steel containers for single shells, to wooden containers for up to three complete rounds – the most iconic being the wicker-type, three-round container. It was constructed of lightweight wicker with wooden corners. A stamped steel bottom and top lid was held in place with a leather strap which allowed access to the shells. When opened, the base of the shells were exposed. Round rubber stops at the bottom of the container protected the fuzes from jarring. Paper labels printed in black ink with the identification of the type of rounds and other information were applied to the lid. Additional labels, often printed with red lettering, could further identify special characteristics such as tropical use.

German Flak Crewman and Officer
The full crew for a Flak 36/37 was eleven men: 2 gunners, 1 loader, 1 fuze setter, 5 ammunition handlers, 1 commander and a driver. A trained crew could deploy a gun in 2 1⁄2 minutes and fire at a ground target up to nine miles away – a distance that exceeded almost every Allied tank’s main armament range. Although originally designed as an anti-aircraft gun it proved to be a superb anti-tank gun as well. The standard anti-aircraft platform allowed gunners to depress the muzzle below the horizontal, unlike most of its contemporaries. The simple-to-operate “semi-automatic” loading system ejected fired shells, allowing it to be reloaded by simply inserting a new shell into a tray. The gun would then fire and recoil; during the return stroke, the empty case would be thrown backward by levers, after which a cam would engage and recock the gun. This resulted in firing rates of 15 to 20 rounds a minute.
