Product details & history

This GI is 'humping' the SC-300 / BC1000 man-pack radio usually reserved for infantry platoon headquarters.
This radio set was known as the 'walkie-talkie' while the hand-held SCR-536 /BC611 was nicknamed the 'handie-talkie'.
Radiomen usually carried a lighter weight personal weapon... sometimes a 1911 Colt Automatic .45 pistol or, more commonly, the M1 Carbine as is shown here.

Materials & Construction

Hand-painted mixed-media collectible. Figures are primarily cast metal, while vehicles, scenic pieces, and accessories may combine polystone, resin, metal, and plastic components. The exact material mix varies by model.

Collector Care

Display indoors away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and moisture. Handle the piece by its base—not by weapons or small accessories—and remove dust gently with a soft, dry brush. Do not use water or household cleaners.

Scale & Dimensions

Designed to complement King & Country's approximately 1:30 scale range. Figure height, vehicle footprint, and accessory dimensions vary by set; check the product description for model-specific details.

History & inspiration

The original walkie-talkie was a backpack

This walking radioman carries the bulky equipment that helped American infantry keep in touch on the move. The model's backpack set and M1 carbine identify a soldier whose essential task was communication, even though he still had to move with the unit and look after himself.

The SCR-300 family was associated with the name walkie-talkie; the smaller hand-held SCR-536 was known as the handie-talkie. Modern usage tends to blur the distinction. Seeing the radio carried on a man's back makes the older meaning of portable rather more tangible.
