A very nice and clean build so far. I love French armor...there are far too few French WWII vehicles produced ( ) in styrene. I have this kit and plan to build as soon as possible. Good luck.

One quick fix you might want to do is the vertical seam on the right front of the driver's armor. That should be filled.

Hi

Looking good, this kit does go together rather well, especially the tracks.
