Thanks for watching Rui. No Beutepanzer for this one. I'm going with original ownership. I love those 1940 French Army camo schemes. I've never done one before. Time to change that.

I had built the original version and quite enjoyed it. It seems so long ago.

I can see the reason for the enjoyment of this kit. It is a fun build. I can't say anything about the fine detail accuracy, but it looks like a S35 to me.

Probieren geht's über studieren ! "bel" should be followed by a vowel. Otherwise we use "beau". e.g. le bel animal but le beau camion. Sorry if I sound like a teacher.

Thank you Rui. This turned out better than I had thought at some points.
