Bronco CB35019 Hotchkiss H38/39 1/35

The Bronco CB35019 Hotchkiss H38/39 model in 1/35 scale is an excellent choice for enthusiasts of armored vehicles from World War II. This set allows you to faithfully recreate the French Hotchkiss series light tank—one of the main vehicles used by the French army during the 1940 campaign. The Hotchkiss H38/H39 is an evolution of the earlier H35 tank, featuring a more powerful engine and improved protection against enemy fire.

The Hotchkiss H38/39 was developed in France before the outbreak of World War II and saw extensive use mainly in the French Armored Forces. After the fall of France in 1940, many units were captured by the Germans, who used them on the Eastern Front, in police service, and for anti-partisan actions. Hotchkiss tanks participated in the border battles of France in May and June 1940, including the fighting at Dunkirk.

The Bronco CB35019 set offers a very high level of detail reproduction. The model consists of precisely molded parts made of high-quality plastic, typical of Bronco products. The running gear, hull, and turret are recreated with attention to historical accuracy, making this kit attractive both for experienced modelers and World War II enthusiasts wishing to recreate Wehrmacht or French Army vehicles. The manufacturer does not include glue or paints in the set, leaving the choice of tools and coloring up to the modeler.
