Panhard 178 AMD-35


Hi guys ! Another project made this summer : the very nice model of AMC-35 Panhard 178 by ICM.
Nearly made from the box excempt minor details and the worst of this kit : the gun.
It would be perfect from ICM to add a metal barel for the gun but it's not a great problem, some rots of plastic and the gun is much better than the two halves in the kit.

Lets talking the pictures :


















AMD 35 Panhard, 6e Régiment de Cuirassiers, voiture n°43 du 1er peloton, 3e escadron, mai 1940.
1ère Division légère mécanique







Le coq de combat, symbole du 6ème Cuirassier est peint dès 1937 sur le capot des AMD (avec ou sans liseré blanc)


Une erreur a été commise par ICM, en effet, l'as de peloton du 3ème escadron doit être vert et non rouge comme proposé !

Soviet T-37A Light Tank - ready for weathering

My new model on the bench : the T-37A from Hobby Boss. It was build straight from the box, only the turret hatch has been replaced by a thinner one made in plasticard.

The two figures for this project are from Master Box and Miniart.




It's now ready for the weathering and figures painting.

Somua S-35 - Finished

Hi friends. My Somua S-35 is now finished.
It depicts the "car" (TSF) number 43 of the 3th Squadron of the 4th Cuirassiers. It's the command vehicle of the 2th Squadron Group (equiped with Hotchkiss H-35). This car has the licence plate number 67254. 
It was the command vehicle of the commandant de Thélin (2th Squadron Group leader).
Spring 1939.




















It was a very nice kit to build and paint with this multicolored camo. I hope you'll like it.
Thanks to visit my modeling world !
