As you all know, Pascal Danjou, the owner of "Edition du Barbotin" and of "Minitracks models" is passed away the last day of February...
He let a big hole in our Hearts, but he was even in the last days working on his new "babys", a Resin kit of the French Renault D2 in the 3 versions :
early (with the SA 34 short gun , early rearmed and "late" (both with the SA35 long gun)...
we still are asking if we will do the D2 Flamethrower ....
the 3 Renault D2 are now in their boxes, waiting to be sold...
about 30 of each in the first édition, may be more if others éditions are planed
in each box, you will find the kit of course with a little figurine of the leader (Standing or seated) and the the bust of the driver, accurate decals for the tank, the instructions in French and English language and a brief history of these tank...
here you can see some picture of the second version "D2 Rearmed" :

(Sorry for that, but I cannot post any picture !!!

I have "touched" these kits, and what I can say is they are marvelous, really fine, no bubbles, the tracks are amazing (they are 3 sprues of the one you can see on the picture)
As you can see, I have some affectives with minitracks (I'm a moderator of the forum and have spend with Carole, the Pascal's widow and some other friends the last Saturday in forming the boxes, controling, printing and speaking a lot !!), I will not "touch" any money of Carole, and I have already bought the three kits...
Thank a lot...
Pascal
