Hello every body,

While surfing, I read a news on the 2007 release of the new owner of Heller, MANOP. Regarindg the figures, it's only re relase set, but what set !!!! It became hard to find those nice and original french figures : 2 armored division troops, compagnie Saharienne, goumiers etc..
It was the first figure kit I made !!

Hi Julien

The re-releases were announced before MANOP bought out Heller, so I hope they don't change them! I'd like to get a couple more of the Hotchkiss MGs (though I have quite enough of the AT guns already).

Definitely some more Meharistes too!

HI there

Yes, I remember these set. But I've never made any of them. Might try them now.

Thanks for sharing this

Cheers

Last time they were available, I bought 2 sets. This is a nice subject, even more so now with the Italeri releases of Italian desert armor.

The guy riding the camel looks great with his legs crossed like they are.
