Stuart MK VI M5A1 Late st Polonaise MIRAGE

Va falloir faire des stocks de shermans heller et de m10 unimodel .....

Celui de Jean Gabin, c'est bien un tardif ?

Je dirai pas tardif ...

Il existe 3 modèles de contrepoids sur les tourelles de M10.
Les 3 modèles cohabitent en unités dans l'armée française
Le souffleur II à un contrepoids N°2.

c'est le plus répandu à mon avis, il suffit de chercher un petit
peu ,sauf cas à part mais le TD se trouve

Je connaissais le lien donné par Artilleur.

LE GABIN est ma seconde passion... ou la première... Avec la maquette... je ne sais plus trop quel ordre.....
J'ai eu la chance de croiser Mathias Moncorgé, totalement par hasard, au musée de Mériel, village de l'enfance de Jean Gabin. Et pourtant... Jamais Ô grand jamais, malgré une ressemblance évidente avec son père.... Je n'ai trouvé cette ressemblance aussi frappante que celle de la photo de Mathias en tourelle... De profil... Photo dont je ne me souvenais pas. C'est tout son père !!! Incroyable !!!

Merci Artilleur.

Good Afternoon Gentlemen, or maybe Bonjour Cher Messieurs.
Je sais très bien que mon français est un véritable assassiner pour la belle langue de Racine et de Molière, alors laissez-moi utiliser mon peu mieux l'anglais...

So... I wish to thank You all for such warm and kind words about our work. I was simply surprised reading Your comentaries. Once again they gave me this feeiling that my work goes to the right hands. But.. It couldn't be right not to mention the people who are also responsible for such positive answer for our model; they are Rafał Kowalski, 3D operator, who totally not knowing anything about the tanks, "was sucked" by me to this project, and to my deepest surprise, then by the project itself, and under lessening supervision, did the 3D project and form for M5/M5A1 family and M8 - just because he "just liked this small tank", Chapeu bas to him. The decals which You admired so loudly, are the effect of dedication of our "Virus" - Piotr Mrozowski, who realised the idea and thoroughly did his job. And last, but not least Małgorzata and Tomasz Staszewski, who printed the decals, and packed the model. Without these people dedication even best project could be only the 3D screen. They were or are payed, but not thanked...  
Our "Stuarts" had the long history; it begins over ten years ago, as M3/M3A1/M3A3 models (these with airplane star engine), they had to be finished, with M5/M5A1/M8 HMC family, but they were not, let's forget why... After ten Years it was possible to restart the program, this time starting from M5, at least... So, now I, We, can give You these "younger brothers" from the family.
As to the most, I think, interesting for You tanks... this time shortly:
1) There was M3A3 from 2e Division Blinde... and there will be! Soon, but this time not simple "rebox" but "retooled" model, with corrected soring me mistake former 3D "magician" (sorry, it was not possible to fight everything, but let's forget it) and, of course, some small aditions... Hope You enjoy.
2) There will be the M5A1, certainly, after the response, magnificent and surprising, from (then) unknown group of Frenchchmen met at the Nuremberg Toy Fairs, there were no other choice. They will be, I think that not even one, meaning the reachest of the versions of the tank. Here's only one thing: every of our "Stuart", every box, will be different not only in decals, but also in plastic parts, even one, but always, that's my ambition. And they will be with and from different units. Because I gave the word of honor not to use some photo material which I received from one Frenchman, who I am deeply thankful anyway, Let me ask You, what tanks, from what units You want have? Just pick.., if the documentation will be enough... Here they are Lafayettes...!
3) M8 "Scott". It's ready and waitnig, unfortunately the mishap with one of our forms forced us to save this tooling and delay (little bit) the premiere of this very interesting self-propelled howitzer, such well known to You.
4) M31. It's ready in 3D, not only as the "standard" early version, but also as... let's say intersting modifications...
5) Last, but not least, a little explanation: I don't know why, maybe because beying a young kid I remembered the bear figure of Lino Ventura in overals with funny beret with even more funny pompon, yelling on litlle Charles Aznavour, and all this in the middle of the desert...! I don't know... Maybe because of Jean Gabin , the one and only who after cried godess Marlene (when run from her to the Army - a real Patriot he ahd to be!), maybe because of him and "Souffleur", and once again "bachi" on his head, this time... I don't know... Maybe because of young Jean Marais and his "Jeep"... I don't know... And above all, maybe because of this not so young by age, but young at heart vice-comte... The Noble, and The Rebel. Or simply maybe because of another man "The Last Great Frenchman", I don't know... But my heart belongs to 2e Blindee. Point. Maybe it's funny for You, but You Frenchmen had in 1944 Your 2e Blindee, We Poles had in 1914 our "Promierre Companie Cadree". Tout.

Dzień dobry Jerzy Majszczyk !

et bienvenue sur le forum

Il me semblait que le RBFM avait récupéré les engins de 1ère dotation du 11ème RCA, des engins "tôtifs" , équipés du 1er type de contrepoids (les rectangulaires qui viennent en applique de l'arrière de la tourelle).
Le kit UM correspondant:

Thanks Jerzy You can continued in WWII materials, it's very nice!!!!

Quand c'est le patron qui le dit, on peut être un peu plus sûr de notre coup...

An injected plastic company representative who takes the time to post on a Forum, and listen to what modelers have to say, chapeau bas to you sir.

Other local manufacturers should take example from you.

I was already really impressed with your Stuart family, but now I am very excited for the m8 to come out.

If you ever run out of inspiration for your kits, there are many people on this forum who know exactly what kits are missing on the market and what kits would sell like petits pains.

I hope your company will continue its great work, and I hope to see more of those kits in the future!

Well....

What the hell of good news !!!

Many thanks Jerzy and welcome among us !!!
You're the proof that when the kits are designed with the same heart and passion that the ones of those who build these kits... Things are great !!
And moreover... You know "Un Taxi pour Tobrouk"... And our dear Jean GABIN !!! A part of french culture !!!

So once again Thank you MISTER Jerzy !!!
Hip hip....   Hip hip Hip hip

tout à fait , Clem
ayant le M8 et le M31, c'est pour ceux qui voudraient le monter













m

salutations Jerzy !

Euh... y'a que moi qui n'arrive pas à voir les photos ?

Dzień dobry Mister Majszczyk, i Dziękuję bardzo !!!
Well, thank you very much for all this very good news Mister Majszczyk....
If I had to dare, It's really "Magic" !!!!
I have a long time ago made a M31 based on your M3 Lee :
" />

But I miss an other one of the French 2e DB !!
and the M8 in the "starting block" is also a very good new !!
Thank you once again to have taking time to write to us, and just like my other fellow said, it's really kind to know that all we are writing between us in the forum is also read by the manufacturers or by the designers and that they wanted to make their possible to make our dreams true !!....

Pascal

Vraiment impressionant Mirage, faire une maquette de cette qualite la pour 10.25 euros c'est pas evident. Y a certaines marques qui n'hesiteraient pas a vendre ca 20 euros.

Peut-être un retour en arrière, je me souviens de leur M3 Lee "canal defense" à plus de 20 Euros pour "juste" une grappe supplémentaire pour la "tourelle" par rapport à leur kit de base et pour un modèle très "confidentiel"...
Je suis pas bien sûr d'ailleurs qu'ils en aient vendu tant que ça, alors, ceci explique peut-être cela...
