M29C Weasel Les Expeditions Polaires FrancaisesStar Decals, 1/35 scaleReviewed by Peter Brown
Summary
FirstLook One of the more unusual uses for Weasel amphibians was as part of polar explorations. This set gives markings for some French expeditions from the 1940s and 50s which used them painted orange with canvas tops and those in the late 1950s and 60s, modified with new front sections and painted white with orange hard tops.
Markings are mostly lettering and tricoleur flags but there are logos including one which looks like Disney's Pinocchio. Something unusual! They may be purchased from various suppliers including Hannants in the UK or direct from www.star-decals.net Full details including prices and availability may be found at www.star-decals.net Many thanks to Johan Lexell for the sample
