Oh i like the looks of that French Renault R-35 , wonder why no one has
made a kit of that baby?

[TRDG]

I'll second that one!! I've seen a couple pics of that before some years ago, now I know what it is, and the gun carried in it.

Cheers, thanks Jim O

I would like to model that as well, a tough build I bet, if one was ever made, anyone ever here of it as a model?
