(Hotch)kiss and tell - part 2

Following the only slightly fiddly build, painting  - when I finally got round to it - progressed quickly. The overall khaki uniforms will allow the use of this lot as not only French but also as anything from Spanish to Romanian. So long as no one looks too closely.

 The team leader (left) is clearly expecting chilly weather - hence his sheepskin waistcoat.

  1. Very nice, and suitably scruffy. Are these the Heller kit figures?

    Yes - it’s an old Heller kit. €3.99 in a model shop in the Netherlands last year!

  3. Looks a darn sight better than my 40mm scratchbuilt one! Rather a nice little vignette actually.

  4. You got a bargain luck find with the Heller kit. The WW2 infantry ones are pretty rare now and worth a few bob :)

    I confess to being stupidly pleased with it.

    The Hotchkiss MG is currently available in a set which includes a 25mm AT gun and motorcycle. I picked one up a few months ago for about £10. Bargain!
