What have we new ....

• French Chauchat Mle. 1915 MG Weapons Set has now been released.

• This includes the well-known Musette magazine bags and other equipment items associated with this MG.

• Many of these articles are also available as individual spares in 1:16th, 1:32nd and 1:35th scales.

General comments

• As we all know Jon's research is something he is quite rightly proud of and as in previous release this shows in these in the resin

• Sculpting is using 3D

• High quality resin resulting in high quality castings

• Minimal flash

• Many uses both as individual pieces or in diorama's

Beginning with some great pictures from the period of the items in use

In the next post I will show the machine gun

Final thoughts

The same comments apply as in previous reviews for JSM , excellent research , casting quality is very high and just as important impressive customer service

Also included in the 25 piece set is a highly detailed and comprehensive information sheet on the items included ...a veritable mass of research


Highly recommended for all

Indeed Mike gunners often didn't fully load the magazine due to the possibility of stress and damage
