Zebrano Z100-032 Hotchkiss H38 French light tank 1/72

The Zebrano Z100-032 Hotchkiss H38 French light tank in 1:72 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit representing the famous French light tank from World War II. The Hotchkiss H38 was a development of the earlier H35 model, featuring an improved engine, thicker armor, and an upgraded turret. This tank was produced from 1938 and was introduced into service by the French Army just before the outbreak of the conflict.

The Hotchkiss H38 was one of the main French light tank models, widely used during the 1940 campaign in France, especially by armored cavalry units. After the French capitulation, many H38 tanks were captured by German forces who used them in modified form on various fronts, from Western Europe to Russia. The H38 model was distinguished by its characteristic turret shape, armor up to 40 mm thick, and armament with a 37 mm SA 38 gun.
