1/10 Hotchkiss H-39 light tank RC model
Fully 3D printable Hotchkiss H-39 light tank in scale 1/10
The Hotchkiss H-35 or Char léger modèle 1935 H was a French cavalry tank developed prior to World War II. Despite having been designed from 1933 as a rather slow but well-armoured light infantry support tank, the type was initially rejected by the French Infantry because it proved difficult to steer while driving cross-country, and was instead adopted in 1936 by the French Cavalry arm.
On 1939 the Commission d'Expérimentations de l'Infanterie accepted improved version with more powerful engine, armour protection and armament known as H-39
