Hotchkiss H35

The hotchkiss H35 was french light tank designed during the interwar period to be a more effective replacement of the renault FT than the too heavy char D1.

 

During its tests the tank proved to be less performant on offroad terrains than the renault R35 and was given to the cavalery instead of the infantry as it was, in theory, slightly better on roads. In reality it was not really because its transmission was much worse than the renault one.

 

The H35 was everywhere before almost everyone as it was part of the french recon groups formed by the french cavalery divisions (such as the DLM, DLC...).

 

This model was made to go along my AMD 178, it features a historical camoflage, a rotating turret in which you can put a commander.
