Default Re: French OOB06 (v.7)

Only few errors or improvements, easy to fix or skip:

13 Char-D1 - photo is D2 - should be eg. 8863 or 27547 or 27548

(btw: "-" in name is not used in French, same for Char-B1 and Char-D2)


40 Sniper - a picture is a generic post-war US rifle. I'm attaching a photo from French magazine.


197,408 Laffly 80 AM - size should be 3 (now 4), like 391 Laffly 50 AM and other comparable cars, while crew should be 4 (3).

202 20mm AA-Gun - photo is Flak, should be Oerlikon, eg. 17041.

209, 431 R-35, R-35 bis - it's worth to give it an own photo with long gun (attached). Gun's designation was in fact SA38, not SA35 (for all users). It was a very rare tank.
The name "R-35 bis" is not used in French publications (however, French Trackstory 04 Renault R35/R40 calls it R-39, although it wasn't official name). More appropriate name could be R-35 /SA38 or something like this.

Same remarks for Vichy unit 431 and Polish 468 - which could use the same photo, or there are photos of Polish tanks (attached).

387 Potez 25 - photo is Brasilian in fact (http://www.reservaer.com.br/galeriah...otez25toe.html ) - attached are some French ones.

430 AMC-34 YR - according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMC_34 and other publications, from 12/37 all were sent to colonies and subsequently modified with 3-men crew and 25 mm guns (in other place it was described as short fortress gun SA RF, but I have no exact data. The page http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=60801 lists 25mm RF models L/40, L/47.2, L/60 and L/72. Photo https://web.archive.org/web/20051128...mc34_84246.jpg shows quite short gun, but a standard weapon 008 25mm SA35 L/53 might do).


526 Curtiss Hawk 75 - photo is apparently Finish (same for Vichy), I'm attaching several French and Vichy proposals.

That's all for France this time.
