SMA What's New In Your Stash?!?

[Eagle-1]

Rob, You may have started something here. LOL

HA!

Good!

I started a long time ago though.



I've got most of them. Missing maybe a few of the Jumbo Jets, but most are simply different decals, so I just picked up a few of those.

Rob.

These are very well made also, newer, and just as "eggy".

Eggy but not as edgy without the teenage anime girls.

That's a nice little egg stash you have there.

Just found a Zero egg, definitely going to order that. Pantherman

Here's another good Zeke P-man. These "Tiger" and "Freedom" models are about the same size, so the fit well together. The Tiger kits many more parts.

Fact, but you wanna spend way more money on these, get the ones that DO include the figure.

Them's above my pay grade. I think I have just one of those, 2 max. Those latest I posted for Christmas have the figures, but those were poked down the chimney and I didn't pay for those, so I can't count them.

I have the Hughes 300, very nice!

Is the H39 essentially a captured tank repurposed as a Pz-35? they are strikingly similar.

Yes, I am too lazy to look it up! Kidding, asking because I enjoy the convo/banter.

The H 39 is a French design by Hotchkiss (this is what the H stands for) adopted in 1939 (that's what the number refers to), and is basically a slight development of the earlier H 35. It was officially called the Char léger modèle 1935 H modifié 39, but has nothing to do with the Czechoslovakian LT vz. 35 that the Germans took over as the Pz.Kpfw. 35 (t).

Bingo and thanks!

The PC game "World of Tanks" has a Pz-38(H), it is one of those captured Hotchkisses (sp?) I think.

This one? That looks like a confused name for captured H35/H39 tanks, yes. The German designation was Pz.Kpfw. 735 (f), which also appears in there. It's confused because Pz.Kpfw. 38 (t) was the German designation for the Czechoslovakian LT vz. 38, so the World of Tanks name gives the impression that it's a variant of that. The 38H bit probably comes from some armour historians distinguishing a Hotchkiss 38 tank as a separate variant of the 35, but off the top of my head, the French Army didn't make that distinction.
