This set is intended to be used with the
HELLER Hotchkiss H35/H39 and Renault R35, as well as the
TRUMPETER H39 kits. It contains the parts to build an APX-R turret, armed with the short
37 mm SA18 tank gun and fitted with a full interior. It is by far the most detailed APX-R turret available in 1:35. (For the long SA38 gun, please order
ETS35018 or
ETS35019.)
This set is
not suitable to be used on the smaller
BRONCO Hotchkiss H39 and
HOBBYBOSS Renault R35. For those kits please order
ETS35017 instead.
Please note this particular set has many separate parts for the gun to maximize the level of detail, but also makes it less suitable for inexperienced modellers.
Included are:
- turret top and bottom
- turret race
- a highly detailed (short) 37mm SA18 gun
- original French cupola
- cut down German cupola
- a highly detailed interior incl. detailed diascopes and episcopes, the traverse mechanism and many more details.
