Thank you for the news. I look forward to in time to pick-up the SA mle 1934 25mm Anti-tank Gun to mount on a Sdkfz 250 for the DAK. The Citroën Traction Avant 11CV will be lovely for my HG in Sicily/Italy.

Looks great Kevin
Will be picking up a Citroën and maybe another Ford GPA
Two questions
1.) Can I buy the driver separately?
2.) Are you considering making a Soviet driver - or do I need to use greenstuff? :)
and no my existing 28mm drivers do not fit I have tried them!
-
Hi Truscott Trotter,
You can buy the US driver separately. The item number is 5009.
At this stage we do not have a plan to do a Russian driver.

OK thanks Kevin - will go with the US and see if I can lean some modelling skills.
I reckon its file the straps, pouches and collar off and replace the head. Add som greenstuff shoulder boards and no one will know the difference! o_o

Great beautiful stuff for the french army !
I'm very impatient to command the Hotchkiss H39 !!
-
I've wanted a Citroen Traction in 1:56 for a long time. ordered!
-
the citroen traction is even a perfect scenery for 1944-1945 in France

Thank you for your replies.
I just found this photo of the SA34 25mm mounted on the Marmon-Herrington Armored Car Mk.II. Very tempting variant :)

it's a commonwealth mount, basically anything was better than the BOYS ATR , so the turret was removed and a captured gun was fitted , mostly breda, but some 25mm captured in Lebanon too ...
in the Marmon Herrington Mk3 used by the Free French, the 25mm was mounted in the turret ...

1 on 3 are fitted with a 25mm gun

That Citroen is a cracker and looks like a better option to the 1/48 Tamiya one.
