the naval mount is intended to use with 15CWT trucks ( mostly Morris and Bedford ) as used by the 1st Free French Brigade , at Bir Hakeim and till Tunisia





the 25mm on carrier was used by the Free French at Bir Hakeim and latter
( the german model on the Neucraft site is one of a model captured at Bir Hakeim )

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.

[Truscott Trotter]

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!

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!

[lou passejaire]

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.
