After thinking about how long it's taken me on my StuG III (Fl) for that build (and I'm still not finished), I've decided to scratch the idea of building the Bronco 1/35th scale kit for this one. Instead, I'm going to build the S-Model 1/72nd scale Hotchkiss. And because there are two of 'em in the box, I'll build both for a nice vignette Smile

Here's the requisite starting picture:

I've opened the bags in the kit and, although the tanks are minuscule in this scale, it's amazing how much detail they've molded onto the hulls. I expect I'll get started in a day or two. There's not too much to the construction, although I need to do a little research to check on the hatch type. May be some scratch building involved. Smile
