Star Decals 35-C1214 German tanks in Norway & Finland # II 1/35 – Water-slide decals for German tanks from the Northern Front

Star Decals 35-C1214 is a high-quality water-slide decal set in 1/35 scale, intended for modelers depicting captured tanks used by German armored forces in Norway and Finland during World War II. This product is dedicated to models of "Beute-Hotchkiss tanks" – that is, French Hotchkiss H39 tanks captured and incorporated into the Wehrmacht, designated with the German code name PzKpfw 38 H 739 (f).

After the capitulation of France in 1940, Germany captured a large number of Hotchkiss H35 and H39 tanks, which were then put into service as support vehicles and garrison units in occupied territories. In the often-overlooked theater of Scandinavia, these vehicles were used both for patrolling occupied areas of Norway and for anti-partisan operations, as well as providing additional support for Wehrmacht units in Finland. The operational period of these tanks in German service spanned the years 1940–1945, covering the entire duration of World War II.

The decal set is made from specialized, ultra-thin material that is resistant to stretching and easy to apply even on the most complex surfaces of plastic and resin models. The kit includes detailed painting diagrams for various individual vehicles featuring German markings used in both Norway and Finland. With these decals, you can accurately reproduce real tactical numbers, emblems, and insignia of Wehrmacht armored units operating in this unique region of Europe.
