Hobby Boss 81003 Hotchkiss H39 tank tracks (1/35) – Individual Link Track Set

The Hobby Boss 81003 set is designed for Hotchkiss H39 tank models in 1/35 scale. These are precisely reproduced tracks made from individual movable links, offering a realistic and detailed enhancement for models of French armored vehicles from World War II. This product is dedicated both to modelers building historical French vehicles and those looking to enrich their dioramas with faithfully rendered construction elements.
