I must thank Mathieu Tyras from France for his concept sketches and background information which made this model "typically French". 

This large kit was due to be launched as a Kickstarter however I will be having an operation on my foot either next month, January or December. My biggest fear was to launch the Kickstarter and not be able to fulfill the pledges as I will be out of action for 6 weeks. The website will be open to browse, read instructions but the checkout, like me, will be temporarily disabled. The exact date of closure is not yet known.
