I am trying to find a manufacturer of French Mat-49 submachine guns in 1/35th scale. Propoganda Kompanie does make a version, however, the quality is poor and the service proposition lousy. I thought Heller used to make a small arms kit (back in the 70s) which included Mat-49s, but have not been able to locate a kit for sale. Any suggestions will be very welcome.

I think Italeri had some in one of their Weapon sets .Sorry no idea if they stll make it . IRC it also had AKs and FNs in it

I haven't seen it in the news here but Saul Garcia has put a photo from Bravo6 up on Tracklink showing a set of Mat-49.
The quality of Bravo 6 casting is terrific so I would get them rather than look for the old Heller set

Thanks men.

Peter, you can get 2 Mat 49's in the Dragon Viet Cong figure set (sorry cant remember kit no. but I'm sure when you google them you'll get it). Cheers mate.

Hi Peter,

there are some aviable with Figure kits in Resin and Plastic.

Resin ones i know:

Jaguar (JA63032) FRENCH FOREIGN LEGION, VIETNAM
one MAT-49 with folded in magazine/handgrib

Bravo-6 French paratrooper firering MAT-49

Plastic:
DML 3304 VIET CONG (one nice MAT-49)

Academy French Foreign Legion Figure set (two MAT-49)

That´s all i know to get an MAT-49 in 1:35

Hope it helps

Stefan

Hello Peter,

Stefan gave you all the availabilities for the the MAT49 in 1/35. I used to make the search than you some time ago. Italieri did some in their weapon set (I guess it was a rebox of an old heller set), but the quality is of the 70's so really poor compared to today standards. The one in the Dragon box is really sharp, and it's cheap. Finally I advise you to buy the firing para of the Huguette agony from Bravo 6. The kit included a little tool to bend some wire at the correct dimension to make the metallic rifle butt yourself, which dragon does not provide.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Julien

Fantastic help and suggestions. Very much appreciated and thanks to all of you.

Hi,
BRAVO-6 is releasing a set of MAT-49 SMG's and French grenades,(#B6-35204) available app. late May.
P.N.

I had seen an Photo of 3D Model from MAT-49 SMG and grenades like WP at Planet Figure from Vladi some time ago but doesn´t realize he will release this set in May. Great news together with Vladis new Vietnam Figure sets.

bye, bye

Stefan
