Resicast continue to expand their range and have released four new items for May. They have again expanded their range of bren gun carrier conversions using the Tamiya kit at its heart. Shermanaholics are also catered to with a Sherman CRAB available as a conversion kit for the Tasca and DML offering or as a complete resin kit from Resicast. The often overlooked medical units are catered to with a selection of stretchers both folded for storage and opened to be shown in use, this set is also accompanied with panniers and medical haversacks. Lastly they continue to expand their resin figure range with a three figure set depicting two British soldiers of the British Expeditionary Force conversing with a Belgian soldier.

Hi Darren,

thanks for getting this one up.

I ordered up the WASP and Medical supplies, couldn't resist . The WASP looks interesting and adds another carrier to build. I think the medical boxes and stratchers will be really useful (just need some medics hint, hint).

I shall have to add the fail to the list, alwasy wanted one of those and a dozer.

The BEF chaps look cool, I hope we see a few more of those too.

It is planned

Morning Gerard,

Excellent. It's been a great year so far for British and Commonwealth Artillery.

Look forward to developments.

Cheers

Al

I want the medical supplies and decals............. Excellent.

Hi Alfred,

Nice set, got mine last week.

Anyone know what type of rifle the Belgian Soldier is carrying?

Al

Hopefully it is a either and MLE35 or an MLE89/36 both of which are Belgian made mauser variants. I say this because "minor" and some major countries seem to get the short end of the stick with their rifles. For example, I still have yet to see French infantry with correct WW2 era MAS36 rifles (they are always depicted with the post war alterations) even those made by manufacturers who should know better.

Hi Matt,

Latest info tells me it's a Mauser model 1889 manufactured by FN (Fabrique National). These were issued to conscripts in 1939.

Thanks Gerard.
