Hotchkiss/Renault info post

[James Tainton]

To aid in differentiating a Renault R-35 from a Hotchkiss H-39
I am posting these images of each of these exotic beastees. I am doing this for those of you who may through ignorance mis-identify one for the other.
I hope this spares you the embarrassment that Stuke and I have felt.http://www.raaad.org/images/sections/shame.gif

Thanks for the pix! Have built the Heller R35, have the H35/39 on the shelf. Probably the only one on the planet that wishes these were available in 1/16th...
