Hi this is No 8 on Pete's Toon production line, the French Somua S35.

It comes with the French and German cupolas and decals.

After the fall of France a number (297) were taken into service by the Germans, they modified the cupola by cutting its top off and installing a simple hatch.



Parts


The wheels have pins to holed them on so you can still on/off for painting.

Front & rear panels and side skirts, 4x tow shackles.

Lower hull.


Upper hull, replaced exhaust tail pipes.




The turret .


Build stage complete .





Upgrades to follow.

Thank you for looking in much appreciated all comments welcome.

( NO DALEK JOKES PLEASE)
