Something surprising coming from Hobby Boss, and I think this German conversion of a French tank should be a real hit.

Oh, WOW!

IF HB does this up even sort of well, I'll have to get one or even 2! I can't speak for others, but I would be willing to strongly bet that many of us Axis and SPG and "converted captured stuff" fans will be jumping up and down to see this come out in a respectable styrene kit!

I KNOW I am! This little oddity of WWII panzer warfare was not the world's best AT machine, but it sure is a cool-looking type and has not yet received the styrene attention some (me, for sure) think it should have long ago.

Folks looking for another conversion vehicle for a "Normandy period" dio or build could get quite the boost from this. Of course, we'll keep our fingers crossed that HB will do a good job of it. And if this, than we should soon see a Renault R-35 from them!

Weeee!

I know I will be getting one, this is a cool looking SPG, I can't wait.

From my understanding, they are working on a line of R-35 and variants.

I see no complaining from the 'Sherman or German' crowd so far...
