Although this is not my usual fare, I couldn't resist doing it, because it was such a rare subject. Also I was a sucker for the involved French camoflauge patterns. The only references on French armour I had, apart from the kit instructions & Armorama (of course!), were the old Lillian & Fred Funcken books - and it has to be said that compared to Napoleonic subjects, the WW2 books don't show them at their best!



It's not completely finished, it still needs the chain on the back, & a radio antenna.

Hi Steve,

Kit looks pretty good. Don't kow too much about its spec but you've done a good job on the camo, looks the part.

Cheers

Al
