They look very well.

Would there be any chance of doing a set of French 13.2mm Quadruple Hotchkiss Mounts in 1/400 for the Heller Dunkerque and Strasbourg kits at some point in the future?

The Heller kit plastic 13.2mm mounts were no doubt nicely detailed for their time of release in the 1970s but are very basic by today's high and rising standards.

I gather the Japanese 13.2mm Quadruple Mount that you have already done was a licence built version of the French original. Though I have not studied it in any detail so don't know of the exact differences, if any. Cheers.

Hello,
Yes, releasing 1/400 Hotchkiss 13.2mm machine guns is in the schedule for the future. Black Cat Models has already released some Royal Navy accessories in this scale, and Kriegsmarine guns are also planned to detail the vast range of Heller kits.

Excellent, thanks for the reply. I'll keep an eye out.

Hi,

any 1/350 French equipment in the future ?

Hello Mark,
Yes, more 1/350 accessories for the French Navy (Marine Nationale) willbe released in the near future. We'll start first with the Hotchkiss twin and quad 13.2mm. They will be followed by more AA guns and deck accessories.
