First To Fight PL094 - Hotchkiss H35 with a cannon SA38 1/72

First To Fight PL094 - Hotchkiss H35 with a cannon SA38 1/72 is a high-quality plastic model kit representing the French light tank Hotchkiss H35 equipped with the improved SA38 gun variant. The model is produced by the renowned company First to Fight, well known for their excellent representation of historical vehicles in 1/72 scale. This unique release also includes a themed magazine with historical information as well as suggestions for painting and vehicle markings.

The H35 model originates from the period of World War II, specifically from its early phase – it was used extensively by the French army during the French Campaign of 1940. Hotchkiss H35 tanks were also used by Polish units formed in France, and after the occupation of France, by the German army (renamed Panzerkampfwagen 38H 735(f)), primarily as occupation or training vehicles. Initial production began in the mid-1930s, but the improved version with the SA38 gun appeared at the turn of 1939-1940 to meet the need for increased firepower against modern German tanks.

The First To Fight PL094 set is designed for military history enthusiasts and collectors of World War II vehicle models. It features precise detailing that captures both turret construction and the distinctive features of the Hotchkiss H35 with the SA38 gun – including a realistically recreated turret and undercarriage details. The additional magazine helps expand historical knowledge and makes it easier to choose the right painting scheme.

I highly recommend this product to younger modellers taking their first steps in building armored vehicle models and to more advanced hobbyists who appreciate accurate proportions and historical accuracy. It is also an excellent choice for diorama fans and for wargamers using 1/72 scale. The model is not only a fun hobby challenge but also a valuable addition to a World War II militaria collection.
