Neucraft Models 1/56... out of the box pictorial review ... french gun and tank

[lou passejaire]

Send within 3 days ,posted from Nanjing, China on Monday the small parcell is in my mailbox in SW France the next Monday …

Neat package in a cardboard box, some Chinese press around …

The 47mm APX AT gun:
best Anti Tank gun in the early in the war, this piece was used by the Divisional Anti tank Batteries of the French army in 1940.
the barrel is 5 parts (carriage, gun shield, gun barrel and 2 wheels).


rightness of proportion, detail and fine engraving, molding resin quality, what more?


stunning model …

as a bonus, two ammunition boxes, one closed, the other open. Conform to the model used for 47mm ammunition, even in the smallest details.

the model is virtually identical in size to the one produced by MadBob Miniatures:


price: $ 12

The Lorraine 37L
The Lorraine 37L is a tank refueling tractor.
The model is in five parts (2 tracks, body ,light and trailer hook). Everything fits together …


rightness of proportion, crisp detail and fine engraving, molding resin quality, what more?


The various shackles, tools, position lights, everything is there …
2 cans and 4 boxes of shells complete the kit.
I'd just 2 minor complaints:
-no fuel trailer
-oversized rivets, but it is a chronic disease among wargame models …
the model is virtually identical in size to the one produced by MadBob Miniatures:


Price: $ 16

The Lorraine 37L tank destroyer
Nice idea to mix the two to produce the mythical and mysterious Lorraine 37L tank destroyer. this vehicle exist some photos,( made by the German after the fall of France ), and, to date no serious information on its origin, and its use.

this is just a "conversion kit" in five parts to adapt the model of Lorraine (modified gun carriage, gun shield, gun barrel and mount ).
Same quality as the 47mm APX, bonus : 2 boxes of ammunition …


price: $ 8

to use the tank Hunter , here are the Bolt Action stats:

Lorraine 37L tank hunter :
Cost :88 (Inexperienced) , 110 (Regular) , 132 (Veteran)
Weapon : medium AT gun forward facing
Damage Value : 7+
Special Rules : Open Topped

Apologize for the poor quality pics .

Fast Shipping, top quality original model , i'm waiting new miniatures from Neucraft Models

Looks good, Shame I don't do ww2 French.

Great find!  This one goes straight onto the wish list for my new WW2 French. 

Rivets might need a gentle sanding back - even for the steampunk French tanks those rivets are pretty full-on.  Maybe a coat of paint or two will tone them down nicely.

Will look great in one of those fantastique French schemes, replete with playing card motifs....sigh...

Look forward to the build review
