This model stands out for its high level of detail and precisely replicated features, characteristic of the Ukrainian manufacturer ACE.

Historical and Technical Information

The 25mm Hotchkiss S.A.L. Mle 1937 anti-tank gun was developed in France during the interwar period and entered service just before the outbreak of World War II. It was used by the French army from 1938 and served as the principal type of light anti-tank weapon during the 1940 campaign. The gun proved effective during the defense of France and in allied armies after the German occupation, who then used captured guns under the designation 2.5 cm Panzerabwehrkanone 112(f). It was active on European fronts until the mid-1940s.

Faithful to the original, the model presents a light gun operated by a two-man crew, featuring its characteristic armored shield, lightweight carriage, and recoil system. Thanks to its detailed part structure, the model allows a realistic recreation of every element – from the barrel and carriage to mounting details.
