The assembly model kit Tamiya 35389 French Light Tank H39 Pz.Kpfw.38H 735(f) in the popular 1/35 scale is a detailed replica of the French Hotchkiss H39 light tank. This vehicle originally served in the French army, and after the capitulation in 1940, it was incorporated into the ranks of the German army under the designation Pz.Kpfw.38H 735(f). The Germans used captured H39 tanks mainly for patrol missions, railway line protection, anti-partisan operations, as well as for training and reconnaissance behind the front lines.
