Searching for New Models

[radar-o-reily]

I am always looking for new subjects to model from WWII era.....during the 1930's and 40's . I have noticed that French subjects are lacking in my collection and I was wondering if any of the members could help me in this quest? I have posted below some photos of vehicles that I am interested in....some, I can't even identify as French origin. Are any of these currently available in 1-87 scale? And are there others that I am unaware of that some of you could help me locate?
Thank you,

Rick

It is a very vast subject because the Army has made specific vehicles for it, it has resorted to vehicles of requisition, taking of war but also of general use in the haste following the declaration of war.
A very well-made book takes all this.
It is easily found in second-hand France.
To answer about the vehicles presented.
The ambulance I do not know at 1/87 but there is at Norev a fire truck with the same before you will have to do the checkout.
The Citroen 45 is available from Wepse Model.
It’s not great, but it does exist.
A car Isobloc close enough to the photo was reproduced by L'Obsidienne, we can find it from time to time from occasion.
The 202 was reproduced by SV model in Belgium, difficult to find.
The Peugeot DK5 does not exist at 1/87 but. There is a white metal kit from Tilbury of the 402 that has the same before.
The last one is an Italian Alfa Romeo 800. I don’t know the 1/87.
Then there may be in 3D but it’s up to you to search in the jungle of the internet.
Good luck to you.

C'est un très vaste sujet car l'Armée a fait fabriquer des véhicules spécifiques pour elle, elle a eu recours à des véhicues de réquisition, de prise de guerre mais aussi d'usage général dans la précipitation suite à la déclaration de guerre.
Un livre très très bien fait reprend tout ça.
Il se trouve facilement en France d'occasion.

Pour répondre sur les véhicules présentés.
L'ambulance je ne connais pas au 1/87 mais il existe chez Norev un camion de pompiers avec le même avant après il te faudra faire la caisse.
Le Citroen 45 existe chez Wepse Model.
C'est pas génial mais ça existe.
Un car Isobloc assez proche de la photo a été reproduit par L'Obsidienne, on peut le trouver de temps à autre d'occasion.
La 202 a été reproduite par SV modèle en Belgique, difficile à trouver.
La Peugeot DK5 n'existe pas au 1/87 mais. Il existe un kit en métal blanc de chez Tilbury de la 402 qui a le même avant.
Le dernier est italien c'est un Alfa Romeo 800. Je ne connais pas au 1/87.
Après il peut y avoir en 3D mais c'est à toi de chercher dans la jungle d'internet.

Bon courage à toi.

Hello,Bonsoir,
Je me demande si le 45 Citroën n'a pas été fait par Haxo. Celui de MAP est pire que celui de Wespe.

Thank you for your comments. I am always looking for opportunities. I know the subject is vast because of all the countries that Germany occupied during WWII. Some of the model makers you mentioned, I am familiar with....others do not sell in the USA. Models of the Berliet, Willeme, Renault, Peugeot, (except for the DMA) do not exist in America. I am able to get Wespe Models so I will search for the Citroen T45. Even if it is a bad model I can improve it. To date, the only French vehicle models I have acquired are the Citroen sedans from Brekina and Wiking, Matford FW 917 lorry and fuel tanker from Heiser's, Citroen Ty. 23 lorry and Bus models from Norev and a couple of Panhard lorries from REE models. Thanks also for the information on the Italian Alfa Romeo 800 truck.....I found it on a French Vehicles thread and assumed it was French in origin. I do know of 3D printers in Europe (Poland) that do good 1-87 scale models but These are very fragile in their construction.
Again, Thank you for your consideration and please feel free to add to this thread anything that you think would be useful in my efforts to increase the size of my collections.

P.S. in your photo, the Isobloc Bus is Obsidienne or Norev?

Thank you Fred. Do you know if they are still available or how I might acquire one?

Unfortunately, the SV models have become nowhere to be found, I'll see with Sébastien its creator if he has a clue ...
