Comments Andy Lang on Missing Lynx forum
I have received their Hotchkiss H-39. It's very nice and, of course, good value with two in a box.
The photos on Henk of Holland's site showed test shots in olive green, so I was pleasantly surprised to find my kit was moulded in a sand colour: much
easer to work. Although it is advertised as a quickbuild kit, the parts breakdown isn't much different to a conventional model and is very logical.
Perhaps surprisingly for a QB model, the kit includes etched brass parts for the tiny towing shackles, some of the tools and other details - I can't
imagine that the towing shackles will last long on a wargaming model. Other tools are moulded separately in plastic.
The kit provides some options - long or short gun barrels, French & German-style cupolas (the latter with open or closed hatches). The suspension & tracks
are moulded as a single piece, with generally nice detail. Purists may not like the 'solid' nature of the suspension bogies - but remember that it is
a QB kit. I intend to 'mask' this shortcoming with some detailing on the relevant faces. The French 'Trackstory' book records the length of the H-39 as
4220mm: if this is correct, the kit is bang-on for length at 59mm. The kit includes transfers for a range of German tanks, but no French vehicles !
I can see that the kit would benefit from a bit of additional detailing - the suspension units mentioned previously, lifting hooks on the turret and idler
adjustments amongst others. Although I have yet to build it, I'm very impressed with the Hotchkiss kit so far. I, for one, look forward to some of
S-Models other early war releases. Nice kit. - Andy Lang

Built model - Conversion BRDM into BRDM-2MS, by Udo Bauer
The Russians removed the 4 support wheels, installed a diesel engine, side doors (where the support wheel drive was), the gun was upgraded with a stabilizer, thermal imaging sights, 4 cameras for all-round surveillance and additional armor (6 mm). The vehicle is still buoyant. The converted reconnaissance vehicle is exported (Serbien, Vietnam?) and is also in use in the Ukraine. Incidentally, the Poles have long since started to convert their BRDM-2 in a similar way

Comments Liu Yue:
I think this is the first modern Chinese equipment in 1/72 scale. I don't whether it is welcome in other countries, but it is very popular in China of course.
The sprue is big an a little complex like the M-551 Sheridan. I think it is a real model kit and not a fast build kit. S-Model try to find balance between
modeller and wargamer, so you can see there is some special design on the track and wheels. I think it is much easier than a Dragon‘s or a Revell kit,
but details is still good.

The Matilda underwent a lot of changes and served right the way through the war. S Models have gone for a 1942 build Matilda, which is ideal for USSR, Eastern Front beute, Far East or late Western Desert. I am already thinking about the large photo of Matildas been shipped to Russia on the wall of Bovington Tank Museum - Dockyard cranes and a mass of out of the box quick build Matilda's would make an impressive model. The only issue I can see at present is that the 1942 version didn't have return rollers, but just simple skids, though this is pretty well hidden and you have be determined to spot the difference in external rivet pattern! I guess there will be an etch sheet with the missing lifting rings and a few other details.
It is also a new choice - as both Esci(Italeri) & Airfix went for the earlier 1941 Western Desert type (for obvious reasons given their main markets at the time). It will be interesting to see how it compares size wise with Esci - to see if they can be cross kitted.
To make a 1940 Matilda is a much bigger change. The early builds had virtually flush rivets, internal hinges on the side access panels and slightly a different shape to the rear mud chute. The suspension was raised (looks easy enough with the design used), and always had the I pattern tracks. The front stowage bins need slatted lids (or would the Esci upper hull fit). The separate exhausts mean the single exhaust will be easy. The rear skid looks ideal for a Dan Talor etch sheet to recreate the hollow design. Use the high. not the low cupola (I think I see both types on the sprue - either are possible on later tanks). A mantle to hold the Vickers, rather than the later Besa plus a few small turret & drivers armour tweaks and that is about it. It would be a fair sized conversion set I suspect.
Well done once again to S Model. At first glance I thought "not another Matilda", but they have chosen well to improve the modelling options, including with a CS version too. As with most of their models, they still manage to produce a quality model even taking into account the quick build compromises. I look forward to seeing their decal options (a mix of Russian, Aussie and British would be good, but perhaps rather more than they normally do - ideally a set of wading markings as well)
Its much more complex than 1940/41/42 - but I guess most won't care which contract was which - just ask if you do. I would recommend David Fletcher's ' Osprey book for a single cheap source of info. Lots of the real thing about, though many have ex-Aussie mods to watch out for (particularly armour added to protect the turret ring) - Will Ward
