IS there a build blog on the French Somua Tank? What about a good site with pics?

Thanks

Hi Mike,

I personal have not seen one on this site.

If there is one it's buried deep in the darkest corners of this site.

As far as pix's and sites go, Frenchy or Henk might be able to help out with that.

There is a very good site covering all French tanks, and it certainly has a lot of Somua pix and history (in French.)

Site: http://www.chars-francais.net/

Hey Mike,
Here's an incomplete build log from PlanetArmor:

Somua build

This isn't a build log but a review of the old Heller kit:

Cybermodeler's Somua review

And here are a couple of builds from Tank Guys:

Somua build #1

Somua build #2

Hope that helps.
Cheers

And one in French - ignore the commander's bicycle seat it's just some rubbish added by the Germans.
