Welcome to the Strelets Forum. Please feel free to discuss any aspect of 1/72 scale plastic figures, not simply Strelets. If you have any questions about our products then we will answer them here.
Truly gratefull for this set. A long awaited dream fulfilled. Now just FFL with mules and horses and a couple of wagon drivers. And if you want to make us happy beyond belief: a couple of sets with Spanish cavalry and infantry for the RIF war. Thanks Strelets you manage to light up this dark period.
Last Friday a French Foreign Legionaire unfortunately died in Mali combating jihadists. That is why FFL are my heroes. They merit a set from each era: Mexico 1864, WWI, WWII, Indo China Dien Bien Phu and modern. FFL through the ages series. Mon Dieu!!!
We continue to be treated by Strelets with such marvellous, rapidly produced sets. It is a joy to visit the website/forum to see what teasers or production sets are being featured.
i think the gun is a french "Canon de 65 M (montagne) modele 1906".
A gun developed before World War 1, specially for the use in montanious areas. Therefore the gun could easy be taken into pieces, so that mules can transport the gun-parts. :snow_capped_mountain:
