Heller 1/35 Somua S35

[Stikpusher 42]

New kid in town again, so I figured I’ll jump in with both feet. This is my most recent armor build completion. It’s the old Heller kit built mostly OOB. I did add cast armor surface texture to the hull and turret using Mr Surfacer, some scribing to replace or enhance kit details in a few spots, and replaced the co ax machine gun barrel with some Albion tubing. I painted with Humbrol enamels, used the kit decals, and used Model Master acrylics for the weathering dirt & dust.

Very nice work on that kit. 🤩

I can easily envision Nicholas Moran ( Outside the Chieftains Hatch host ) giving a lecture on the vehicle.

What version of Mr. Surfacer did you use?

Chris and Bob, thank you for looking in and your kind words.

Bob, I’ve never watch Chieftains Hatch, but have heard good things about the show from a friend. I’ll need to check it out sometime. I used Mr Surfacer 1000 for the texture, that’s all that I have onhand here currently.
