Hotchkiss MG's wanted

Does anyone know of a source for 1:35 scale Hotchkiss machine guns, needed for my tank project. Can be plastic, resin, or even brass, dont mind so long as they are good quality.

Cheers
Ian.

Unfortunately those Hotchkisses are the wrong version for British tanks (fine for French ones though) - the ones used on British tanks was the portative

Thanks Chris, did look at that on Hannants but seems odd they dont show the actual product. As for rivets I have just received a delivery from SB Models of Grandt Line ones. My god they are small ! Time to get the glasses out lol

Thanks for the info Rob, had no idea there were 2 types. I might chance the 1:32 ones, the difference really cant be that much....can it ?

Ian.
