Conducteurs francais de 1940

Bonsoir!

Je fais maintenant un Latil M7T1 (1/72) d'Alby. Mais je n'ai pas trouve une figurine comme conducteur (ni autres passagers). Idees?

SVP pardonner la manque des accents.

Hi Chris.

This kind of figures will be very hard to find.... And even non existent....
According to me... For braille scale... Alas... Except very few figures from "Le Barbotin" or "Retrokit", french world war II figures are very uncommon, especially for tank crews or vehicles drivers or riders !!!

I'm afraid that you'll have to find some other nations drivers or passengers and to turn them french....

Good luck.

Hi Chris

Perhaps some of the Scibor Miniatures sets for the polish army look the part?

For instance

Also, TQD castings have some french motorcyclists - not exactly the proper crew for the Latil, as far as I know, but at least you can get a 25mm gun crew

Well Chris....
It's a good choice !!!
But I'm afraid that to find a sitting French soldier who can drive the Latil M7B1 is a dream...
For plastic french soldier, you have the Pegasus and the Caesar boxes...

You can find the items here :

and for resin figures you can find some by Milicast :

or by Retrokit-France :

No driving soldiers, just some standing ....
You maybe can built some, using english or german little soldiers and gluing a French head with "béret"  or "French Képi"...
you can find some white metal "french heads" by the "Lancier bleu" here :

http://www.lancierbleu.com/tetes-minairon/3962-minairon-gef-999-tetes-avec-casque-adrian.html
(9 items in the minirons box)
I think TQD Casting offers too some white metal french soldiers...
Send us some pictures of the Latil when it's finished, it's not a so common truck, even by us...
Good luck for your little french soldiers.
