On the cover of Wargames Illustrated this month was a free plastic sprue from Battlefront, either a British Light Tank or a French Somua S35. On my magazine was the Somua S35.
This Somua S35 was on display at the Bovington Tank Museum.
I will probably try to recreate this camouflage pattern.
The Somua S35 was a French cavalry tank of the Second World War. Built from 1936 until 1940 to equip the armoured divisions of the Cavalry, it was for its time a relatively agile medium-weight tank, superior in armour and armament to its French and foreign competitors, such as the contemporary versions of the German Panzer III medium tank.
This is a nice little kit and it went together really easily.
The next step was a base coat of Wraithbone.
I took a photograph of the Char 2C next to the Somua S35 medium tank. The Char 2C was a huge tank in comparison.
