"French 2e DB M 10 TDs and stuff" Topic

TDs are from the RBFM (Régiment Blindé de Fusiliers Marins), so some of them have kept their bachis, the French sailors' traditional headgear. Tanks are Armourfast, stowage and crew are S & S models, with some Retrokit sailors' heads swapped on:

The most famous TD of the Division, the Siroco, which knocked out a Panther on the Place de la Concorde, firing from the Place de l'Etoile down the whole length of the Champs Elysees :

The Simoun, that killed some Panthers at Dompaire

and a close up of the turret interior to show off the impressive ammo racks made by S & S models

Now, another model,an M4A5 from Armourfast as well, and stowage from the bits box

Lastly an M 20 Command Car from S & S (well, I had the decals and wanted to try that brand). It's a good resin & white metal model, a bit pricey IMO but in the end well worth the purchase. Quite easy to build too, I added stowage from my bits box

It was those M10s I have been waiting for……great work to man them with Les Marins.

Never knew that headgear was a "bachi" but delighted to see the unit now posted. I might even be drawn away from Napoleonics. Remind me where you got the decals/transfers?

Great work.

Very well done !

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the kind words, gentlemen!

@ deadhead

Decals are made by Alby, but that's a real hassle ordering from them even here. I ordered mine from tchoutchou decals, I think P&P won't be too much as this is quite light :

That is much appreciated. Merci
