Christopher Ward C65 Dartmouth Series 1 (41mm)
Introduction
The ‘public’ military models started with a batch of C65s in 2019. They were this Dartmouth (named after the Royal Naval School) and available in blue (this one) and black, the Cranwell (named after the RAF College) and the Sandhurst (named after the The Royal Military Academy where army officers are trained).
In August 2020 CW added a fourth military model, the Lympstone. And in 2021 the Colchester joined the party (developed for and in conjunction with the British Army's Parachute Regiment).
