1st squad , poor quality picture  :-[ ... and the Citroen Kegresse tractor for the 2nd GRDI 25mm AT gun .

the 2nd GRDI ( Infantry Division Recce Group ) moved to Holland, and was back in France 6 days later, with heavy looses .
The unit was quite destroyed at the end of May 1940 .

yep, i'm glad John produced such beauties from a bunch of pictures and the side car measurement ... happy that Crusader produced them, and the crew ...

Cracking stuff, I particularly like the dismounted troops.

I have a French force in 10mm and seeing these, I am wondering about adding some lighter colours on the webbing and goggles for contrast.

My dismounted guys came in the mail today.  I Plan on doing a black "leather" jacket for the leader w/pistil, and more a brown leather for the other leaders.  I went into Crusader web site last night and order 3 motorcycle sets and one without a drivers...hope to use that as a dismounted marker of sorts for gaming with Chain of Command.

Do you have any final based pics of your mounted troops?
