Reviews : Heller Somua S35 Battle Tank

This Heller Kit is a re-box of an original kit from over 40 years ago. The moldings show their age with a mix of good and not so good. For example, the turret is too simple, on the other hand the upper hull seems sharply detailed. The thing that really lets this kit down are the tracks, they have no internal detail at all and barely any external detail. This kit is a very simplified one and can be built very quickly. The instructions are clear, and the decals are ok. This is an important French tank of the early years of WW2, and no other manufacter provides it in 1/72, so it's better than nothing...

This Heller kit is poorly done! Discouraging given the lack of WWII French armour. The parts frequently do not align especially for the chassis and top. The instructions are particularly bad, vague on connections and order of work. The plastic is of poor quality, thin and difficult to glue. I finally gave up on it which was hard I don’t like to leave a job undone.

this is my first heller model not happy with it glue points are bad the plastic is thin you must take your time with this one i got this model cause i wanted a French tank after painting it turn out not to bad one plus it comes with decals the details are not that good
