Interesting and unusual subject. Very nice and appealing poses on the Marine crew too.

Blitz is reallya great brand, with the choice of hard to find items.
Now with with J.M Danel they get a talented sculptor (remember JMD Brand).
But be patient with them, it's take quite a long time beetwen order and when you receive the items ordered.
But for people how like WWI and French Army Blitz is highly recommended

Nice stuff and a great, unusual subject matter but it could well be the kiss of death if they delay filling orders too long; it gets around and orders dry up. No one wants to wait too loong and will go elsewhere given the choice.

Well, there isn't much choice when it comes to getting models of these vehicles and guns. Blitz is the only game in town.
We have gotten spoiled by the internet and demand answers quickly, preferably the same day. Back in the dark ages when paper mail delivered by mailmen was the only way to communicate and sending money took a week or two we had to be more patient.
I have purchased kits from Blitz on several occasions and it does take time and they seem to prioritize getting work done instead of watching their e-mailbox but I have always received the stuff I ordered. If running Blitz isn't the owners full time employment then there is very little time left over when job and possibly family have received their share of time.

They are the "only game in town" if you want these subjects. No styrene companies are releasing French WW1 heavy artillery.

And don't wait: when these items go OOS, they may OR MAY NOT come back.

Does someone have a direct link to this kit? I cannot see or find it and would like to get one.
thanks

I feel silly. I linked to the website at the top but the site is all French and I do not see an English translation. Has anyone ordered from them and is there a process for doing so? Sorry, I don't read French.
