I remember seeing a company making the German conversions of French tanks for the 21st Panzer Div. But I can no longer find it. Can anyone offer ideas who this was. I also remember they made landing craft. |

Not sure which scale you're referring to, but in 20mm there's Britannia and Early War Miniatures (ex-Skytrex/Hinchliffe). S&S Models also have some more recent kits. |

Gaming Models and Battlefront do them in 15mm |

QRF and Old Glory also make German conversions of French AFVs in 15mm. |
LtJBSz | 22 Apr 2014 9:30 a.m. PST |
Pendraken and Pithead do them in 10mm. |

I thought 21st panzer gave up their French tanks before D-Day, 100th panzer battalion had French tanks though. if you are referring to the Becker field conversions of french Halftracks, Raventhorpe do several different ones in 20mm. |

The 21st was in the middle of converting when D-Day happened. Some units had updates, many did not, some were away getting their training/equipment. |

GHQ and Heroics do them for 6mm. |

Yes, the French tanks had all gone from 21. PD by D-Day. I presumed the OP meant the many and various conversions they were still using. Independent battalions 100, 205 and 206 were all using French tanks in Normandy however, as well as 213 in the Channel Islands and one or two panzerjaeger units. |

Battlefront has quite the selection of the various halftrack conversions in 15mm (of course). I haven't noticed whether or not they have put out French tanks with German modifications, or not. You could also run re-captured Char Bs and Somuas in US Olive Drab as the Free French liberated German depots in Paris. Wyatt |

FoW do the Pzkpfw B2(f), which also includes the alternate superstructure for the flamethrower and associated gunner. A very nice model. I've not seen any other 'basic' modified tank models (e.g. with split hatches fitted German stowage boxes), but that's easy enough to do yourself. |

There are some French armour conversions available in white metal from Reviresco, too! |

I should have said the scale was 15mm. Thank you all. The site I was looking for was Gaming Models. |
