Informasjon fra Bronco Models:
Hotchkiss began production of Light Tanks in 1935, when the H-35 was built to the same specifications as the Renault R-35. The H-35 was faster than its rival and was considered all-around a better tank. In 1938 the design was improved by thicker armour and a more powerful 120hp engine, which necessaitated change to the rear hull and engine compartment. This model being designated the H-38 by Hotchkiss, but was often known in service as H-39. Armour on the H-38/39 was up to 40mm thick and the tank was initally armed with a 37mm short barrel gun. A longer barreled SA38 gun was mounted on later production tanks. Like all French tanks of the period, the H-39 was hampered by a lack of communication, and also by having only a 2-man crew. The German Army salvaged 821 Hotchkiss tanks in 1940 after France capitulated. Some tanks were sent out to Russia in 1941, but the majority were modified into gun tractors, ammunition and weapons carriers.
