    "Pete's Somua S35 Toon"

    Hi this is No 8 on Pete's Toon production line, the French Somua S35.

    It comes with the French and German cupolas and decals.

    After the fall of France a number (297) were taken into service by the Germans, they modified the cupola by cutting its top off and installing a simple hatch.



    Parts


    The wheels have pins to holed them on so you can still on/off for painting.

    Front & rear panels and side skirts, 4x tow shackles.

    Lower hull.


    Upper hull, replaced exhaust tail pipes.




    The turret .


    Build stage complete .





    Upgrades to follow.

    Thank you for looking in much appreciated all comments welcome.

    ( NO DALEK JOKES PLEASE)

    Pete.

                        Pete.
                        I've seen your other builds so don't say you've found your skill level as if these are not worthy.!
                        Its all modelling, and should be fun.
                        John.
