Like I ( I'm sure many of us) don't already have several ideas for a kit like this

What are they? My immediate thought was of a tank crashing through the wall.

I like the rubble being one 'wrap around' integrated piece.

Well, I'm thinking allied paras on one side and German infantry on the other for starters

Pat,

Thanks for the news.

For what period in France would a wall like this be relevant; over what period were walls constructed in this style? Is this style relevant across other parts of France or indeed Europe? Or is it unique to Normandy?

Sorry about the seemingly dork-ish questions, but our walls are very different down south...

err I don't know
To me it looks like a limestone block wall. We have that style of wall or something close to it in Ireland and some of the wall I've seen are a couple of hundred years old.
Maybe one of our French Members can say whether this wall is particular to Normandy.
Meanwhile I'll ask the folks at Mk35.

Thanks Neil. How old are these walls typically? I mean, would it be appropriate to use this piece in, for example and just off the top of my head, a 100 Year War or Napoleonic era vignette?
