The consensus is the DES kits are preferred. I found a retailer that can acquire these. So I will try that route first. Thanks for the offer.

I have one of the RPM kits and it comes with optional wooden or tired wheels for the cannon. As these are upgraded guns, the carriage would be different from that that the French used in 1940.

I am looking for several each of both of the following in 1/35 scale.

RPM 35007 7.5cm Mk.97 Schneider Field Gun wz.1897

DES 35042 75mm Model 1897 Gun

DES also has some additional equipment I would like to have several sets of as well.

It appears that Jadar in Poland has a version of the RPM kit. DES in France lists their kits on a web site, but I cannot find a way to order directly from them.
