Bofors

Yeah, yeah.

That locked it out right alongside a gun that he had, it was a Bofors or something, maybe, I don't know, on a rotating platform.

So I brought it on point blank range, you know, two inches away.

And then I just left it.

The Alouette, the Cheetah.

The Bofors gun in Kargil, which you covered, which was used in direct firing mode.

I remember the Bofors company saying, we didn't even know that these guns could be used in that incredible direct firing manner.

So there are umpteen examples of OEMs learning from the Indian military how their equipment is used.

This is what...

I have this idea, well, the inspiration also from...

Swedish provinces and and coats of arms and regiments like it would be cool to make you know knights of Öland or Gotland those coats of arms and those colors you know so any inspiration you have you know I was thinking where would artillery where would cannons come from whether it would come from Bofors and that's Värmland then so maybe a Värmland regiment of cannons artillery

I wanted to make a unit of militia from Gävle Mm-hmm.

Like drunk guys.

Um, obviously a lot of nations had light autocannons of some sort.

Everyone loved those Bofors 37 millimeters.

Mm-hmm.

Um, but, uh, the, the Danes, they, they liked to use them as anti-tank weapons.

As long as you know what you're doing going in and you realize I'm building this for the nostalgia of it, I think that's great.

Take a look at what you did with that Bofors thing.

It came out very nice for what it was.

I did.

This new kit depicts Richelieu following her refit in the United States in 1943.

While that refit significantly improved her fighting capabilities, it also saw many of her original French design features replaced with more familiar Allied equipment, such as Bofors anti-aircraft guns.

So for those of you who prefer the original French configuration, this particular release may not quite scratch that itch.

We're still awaiting confirmation as to whether V Hobby will produce this as a waterline or full hull kit, although based on their previous releases- A waterline injection moulded offering seems the most likely.
