Now I remember what I was going to ask... What the heck is that little pyramid deal on the roof of the cab? Has anyone seen it on any photos of Blitz's in...
Hello Kenneth, The triangle on the roof is raised to show that the truck is towing a trailer or gun, when the truck isn't towing (acting as a tractor) the...
Wow, I did not know that! Thanks for the info Martin. Of course this raises a good question. Should the model always come with the triangle on the top of the...
Hello Vincent, After seeing mention on this group that Arsenal Miniatures was selling AGN items earlier this year at the other HMGS East cons, I made sure to ...
Hi Jeff! Yes, I finished the based Renault a while ago, but didn't want to make the official announcement until I had the unbased version done. Fortunately, I...
As those of you who visited Jason at Fall-In may already know, the Renault 35 and Renault 39 are finished and ready for sale. This nifty little French tank is...
Off the top of my head weren't some used by the Vichy French in North Africa? I seem to remember an older version used by them... Kenneth On 14-Nov-05, at 9:15...
Ah! Yes, I suspect the Vichy French had some of them in North Africa. I know for sure they had a bunch of old FT-17s, and it seems reasonable that the Renault...

I would love to add a T-70, the Soviets had thousands of those little things and you can use them right up to the end of the war. I might have a chance to put...
