Detta är ganska enkelt för en klocka av denna kaliber, även om du når den på handleden, märker du att dualiteiten har <a href="https://www.fakerolex.se/Category/fake-seiko/" rel="nofollow">fake seiko</a> ett glans som är okänt vid denna prispunkt. Jag tror att detta främst beror på den polerade ramen, den polerade handenheten och tillämpade index.

Det finns ett brett polerat avfasning som skiljer de två, vilket också lämpar sig för <a href="http://www.klockor-kopior.com/rolex/" rel="nofollow">fake Rolex</a> ovanstående "glansiga" uttalande.<br />Bland dessa många positiva <a href="http://www.klockor-kopior.com/rolex/" rel="nofollow">rolex replica</a> aspekter finns det några vassa kanter, främst där tapparna slutar.

I'm building a small force of French in 20mm to play battlegroup blitzkrieg. I've grown very fond of the color schemes and patterns of French vehicles. Did you upload the color plates to your Facebook after all? I couldn't find them, but I am guessing I won't be able to unless I 'friend' you. I'd love to get the encyclopaedia but it's very expensive to get sent to New Zealand.

Also, besides the pesky photo etched parts, beware those fiddly vision blocks on the H-35s turret! I lost one of the lil' beasties in the woven grass matting that covers our kitchen floor, never to be seen again and had to improvise a replacement from scrap much to my eternal disgust! <br /><br />These really are handy kits and a very good value for the price. As I explained to @Moiterei_1984 above, between these S-Model kits, the plastic 1940 French infantry set from Pegasus Hobbies, relatively inexpensive prebuilt kits of the Char B1bis and SOMUA S-35 to be had off of EBay, and metal makers such as Early War Miniatures, building up a 1/72 scale 1940 French wargame force is not all that difficult or expensive an undertaking, and given how the French performed at the tactical level, they make for a potentially very tough, very stubborn and VERY dangerous foe who could in a tactical fight send Monsieur Le Boche packing with his feld grau tail between his legs(!). <br /><br />I will be posting the color plates for the R-35s on my Facebook page BTW, so you may want to take a look at those when you're ready to paint your R-35s, as they had some fairly elaborate camouflage schemes peculiar to the designated direct replacement for the granddaddy of the modern battle tank, the WW1-vintage Renault FT-17. <br /><br />Thanks again for lookin' in on my latest madness! >;)BlackWidowPilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09412207015693040956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948448485994473978.post-2590046134221417252016-01-03T20:08:33.380-08:002016-01-03T20:08:33.380-08:00Thank you!

Indeed, the French Army of 1940 was a colorful, eclectic organization to say the least, and when playing at the tactical level the French can be plenty dangerous during this period as 101,000 official German battle casualties for the invasion of France and the Low Countries can attest to. <br /><br />The fighting between the French First Army's Cavalry Corps and the German panzerwaffen in the Gembloux Gap area of Belgium in particular lends itself to some ferocious tank dust ups that didn't exactly always go the Germans's way(!). Further, there's the fighting at Stonne, where the town changed hands seventeen (17) times in two days of intensive street fighting between elements of 10th Panzer Division supporting Panzergrenadier Regiment Gross Deutschland (an elite German motorized infantry showcase unit) on one side, and the *reservists* of elements of 3e DLM and various French infantry formations. A further sense of just how intense the fight at Stonne ran is provided by Gross Deutschland's casualty count from the French Campaign; 50% of the total occurred at Stonne, and Gross Deutschland veterans postwar names Stonne along with El Alamein and Stalingrad as among the three most memorable battles they'd fought in. <br /><br />So indulge yourself, I say! Even for tactical gaming having a mixed bag of French infantry (Pegasus Hobbies makes a very handy set of 1940 French infantry in plastic complete with extra FM 24/27 Chatterault automatic rifles to make the ten-man dragons porte "squads), some light tanks and an anti-tank gun or two for support, and perhaps a single Char B1bis to truly terrorize le Boche with their puny little 37mm guns, will give you your fix for a colorful force of eccentric, eclectic, colorfully camouflaged wargame force.<br /><br />S-Models makes a Renault UE light tractor, plus the Renault R-35 infantry tank, so between those and the Pegasus infantry set, it really is quite an affordable venture, with the added bonus that the R-35s have their own uniquely colorful camouflage patterns peculiar to the direct lineal descendant of the WW1-vintage Renault FT-17 (and yes, I will be posting photos of the color plates of those lil' critters on my Facebook page in due course). <br /><br />Heck, HaT Industrie makes a quick build 2-in-1 FT-17 kit as well, so it's quite easy to add some "antiques" to your 1940 French wargame army if you so choose, as the French deployed several hundreds of these old light tanks to make up for shortfalls in R-35 production, and against infantry without the immediate benefit of their anti-tank guns, the FT-17 was still a threat all in its own clanking, noisy, antiquated fashion.<br /><br />BlackWidowPilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09412207015693040956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948448485994473978.post-16722959450956130182016-01-03T11:28:37.724-08:002016-01-03T11:28:37.724-08:00Wonderful stuff and thank you for posting.
