Don't forget to add the gun shield There are some other issues with the kit itself, but at this stage I won't bother you with those ;-)
One thin though, the name R39 is not an original one ;-) (It's probably based on the misconception that the Hotchkiss armed with the long gun was the H-39 and that this type of number also applied to the Renault...)

Today I add another photos from the building of the model, unfortunately I built the model without a shield on the cannon. I will have to find a suitable drawing and make the shield, ideally from some thin metal. Thank you for your notice. Continuation of painting. I decided to add one figure from Miniart set, to the turret of that tank.

I like very much your modes Milan. This one is looking very nice too.
I remember very long ago Gunze Sangyo was the first that made attempt to produce the left and right gun shield on Heller’s M 1 Hotchkiss H35/39 1:35
