Good one, worthy of a nomination for "understatement of the year".

Hi Christophe,

I know Graham is working on a folding para bike at the moment so it may be that we will see a European one for the Belgian troops that are starting to appear, although I haven't heard mention of that yet.

There would be the option of converting the Tamiya kit, something I've been meaning to try out. It's the wheels in that one that let it down.

I do like the options that this new range of early war figures and kits opens up.

Cheers

Al

James,

The rifle looks like an MLE89/36 which is a conversions of the MLE89 brought up to MLE35 specs.

Hi,

The rifle is a Mauser Model 36.
Conversion of the model 1889 with parts of the model 35 (almost identical to KAR98)
