Modern pallet set
http://www.larsenal.com/1-350-moderns-palets-c2x16420184
Includes 57 4' pallets.
Pallets were designed in America by the late thirties. In the early forties Capt. Charles D. Kirk and Lt. Walter T. Shelton from the Brooklyn Navy Yard fixed their dimensions and use by dividing a standard wagon platform in 4’ squares. The aim was to fill the maximum space in a wagon. This kit includes 57 pallets and will be suitable in sceneries for Allies powers from 1942 on.

Leading ship of a series of seven ASW frigates, the Georges Leygues stood in service in the French Navy ranks for about thirty years and was decommissionned in 2014.
The upcoming 1/400 model from L'Arsenal has been CAD designed, with prototype parts printed with the best 3D printers on the market. The kit will contains many resin and PE parts, it will be possible to put the stern sonar in either the stored or operational position, and a very realistic Lynx helicopter will be provided.

The kit represents the frigate as commissionned, it is scheduled to release the other versions in the months to come.

The French "1 500tons" fleet submarine (Redoutable class, not the nuke but the prewar one) will be available soon this Spring. This 31 boat class, the largest in the French Navy in the interwar years included some of the most famous boats who fought in WW2 where they paid an high price... on both sides (Free French and Vichy). The most famed of all was the Casabianca, who miraculously escaped the Toulon scuttling in November of 1942 and spent an exciting career carrying intelligence, weapons and spies to the coasts of Corsica and Provence in 1943-44 in preparation of the Allied landings.

Resin an photo etching. Length 230mm.

More to come on these subjects later. Stay tuned.
