HobbyBoss 1:35 - 5cm Pak (t) Sfl. auf Fgst. Pz. Kpfw. 35R 731 (f) - Plastic model kit #83808
The Renault R35 was a French light infantry tank produced from 1936 until 1940. The R35 became one of the most numerous French tanks captured by the Germans. Germany captured a total of 843 R35's, over a hundred of which were designated Panzerkampfwagen 35R 731 (f) and used by panzer units mainly for security duties or driver training. Most of the captured tanks were later converted into artillery tractors and ammunition carriers after the turret was removed.
Germans decided that R35's would be more useful on the battlefield if they were converted into self-propelled guns. Using the R35 chassis they built a 4.7 cm Pak(t) (Sfl) auf Fgst.Pz.Kpfw.35 R 731(f). This proved to be rather difficult because the chassis was even smaller than that of Panzer I Ausf.B, and the tank designed for two Frenchmen was now supposed to carry three German soldiers and a fairly large gun with ammunition. This new vehicle was not very successful in service especially in winter conditions, so a decision was made to improve it by changing the gun for a 5cm PaK 38. However this plan never came into action because of technical limitations, and the project was cancelled.

Operation Frankton RMBPD Set - WWII Cockle Canoe + Royal Marines
£45.00 GBP
1:35 - Major Herbert George "Blondie" Hasler - Resin kit
Herbert George "Blondie" Hasler was a Lieutenant Colonel of the Royal Marines. In 1942, a 28-year-old Hasler planned and led Operation Frankton. The operation was a commando raid on Axis shipping in the French port of Bordeaux occupied by the Germans. The mission was to attach mines to the hulls of German cargo ships. Three of the five canoes were lost on the way to the port. The surviving crewmen including Hasler reached the port successfully, placed the mines and managed to drown four cargo ships. They then walked 100 miles to a French village where they met with members of the Resistance and started their journey back to England through Spain and Gibraltar. For this operation Hasler was awarded the Distinguished Service Order by King George VI.
One kayak was damaged while being deployed from the submarine, and it and its crew therefore could not take part in the mission. Only two of the 10 men who launched from the submarine survived the raid: Hasler, and his number two in the kayak, Bill Sparks. Of the other eight, six were executed by the Germans and two died from hypothermia.
This product is available in two scales, 1:35 and 1:24 and was painstakingly designed from scratch as a digital model.
The kit includes: 2 x miniatures (Blondie Hasler and Bill Sparks) in their folding Cockle Canoe named 'Catfish' made by Campaign Models (UK).
