Carlos CisnerosThanks 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.

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

Carlos CisnerosI 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.

Carlos CisnerosThank you. Just working on improving my figure painting skills with the poilu.

NeulingMerci Olivier! Second try: Le char est tres bel, mais le poilu est la star. Gender gender ........

OlivierProbieren 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.

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