There are a series of combatants from WWII who, it seems some manufacturers studiously ignore. Here's one less on the list thanks to MiniArt Ltd.
The New set, 1/35th scale set, announced today is:

35105 - FRENCH TANK CREW This will be a five-figure set and, from the box-art, a very nice variation in uniforms and headgear.

Nice one MiniArt!

Man oh man, love these guys! Wished they were out 2 months ago 'cause now I got 2 crews of 'B' team figs ready to go. No worrys, have more french armor in the pile. Really nice poses!

A very welcome release and once again Miniart show a bit of common sense and imagination in their releases. I just wish we had some more early war French Armour (R 35, H 35, S 35 etc) Cheers Al

I wonder what the chances are that MiniArt release something French to pose these with? Theres quite a few possibilities that need updating!

Terrific news; I'll buy a few of these. The most logical AFVs to produce, it seems to me, would be the FT-17 or S35. The FT-17 has the most marketing potential, since variants saw service in France, USSR, USA, Spain, Afghanistan, China, and probably twenty other places I am forgetting. My personal favorite would be the S35 though, and there has NEVER been a decent kit of one.

Finally !! good news. Here's hoping they also will do some some French infantry figures as well.

Indeed some welcome additions to the figure market. Love the poses and the figures Joking aside I think these figures are somewhat beautiful and I hope that some more French and Italiens will follow...
