Here are photos of 1/56 (28mm) French Hotchkiss H39 tank. Production of this model will begin late this month and the kit will be released late next month (April). The estimated price will be USD$23 (GBP16.31).

The Hotchkiss H39 tank kit will include one late type turret, both SA18 gun and SA38 gun, one spare wheel and an optional trench rail (not shown in the photos). The same turret is also used by our Renault R35 tank kit.

We also have some more interesting stuff including the Citroen 11CV car, the SA34 25mm anti-tank gun and a US driver for the Ford GPA Amphibian Jeep. They will be available as kits late this month.



To see more photos please go to our website or blog.

Looking good!
I would love to pick up the Citroen car at the Salute show in London in April. Do you think you will have a distributor there?

Hi EC, Thank you.

We do not have any UK distributor yet. The only way to buy the kit is from our website or our eBay store. USD$6 flat rate shipping to UK, for any number of kits.

BTW the Citroen car will be available by the end of this month.

Here is the link to our eBay store

Hi,

We are not sure about this. From wartime photos seemingly the R35 usually was not fitted with a trench rail. But there is a photo of a German captured R35 with a trench rail.

We are gathering information and hopefully reliable line drawings of the trench rail.

Brilliant stuff!   :-*

Can't wait for the Hotchkiss and 25mm AT for my Chain of Command force.

Are there plans for any more variants on the Lorraine 37L (e.g. the APC and/or armoured trailer)?

Thank you. If you mean the Lorraine 38L APC, we do have the plan.

Hooray! Yes, that's the one I meant.  Something else to look forward to.

The second BBC was equiped with trench rail.

the R35 of the 40th BCC too ...
basically, the R35 were issued with a trench rail from late 1939 . around 1070 were issued without the tail, and the last 430 produced from september 1939 were issued with a trench rail .

Dans les situations critiques, quand on parle avec un calibre bien en pogne, personne ne conteste plus. Y'a des statistiques là-dessus.
