1/35 Befehlspanzer 38H(f) Command Tank – Bronco Model CB35003

The Bronco Models 1/35 Befehlspanzer 38H(f) Command Tank (CB35003) recreates one of the more unusual armored vehicles used by German forces during WWII. Originally built as the Hotchkiss H39 light tank for the French Army, many were captured after the 1940 campaign. The Germans converted a number of these vehicles into specialized roles—including the Befehlspanzer (command tank) variant.

The Befehlspanzer 38H(f) featured upgraded communications equipment, a distinctive frame antenna, and internal modifications to support command operations. These vehicles served in occupation units, training formations, and security roles across Europe. Their hybrid French‑German appearance and unique battlefield role make them especially appealing to modelers who enjoy rare or unconventional subjects.

Bronco’s kit captures the distinctive look and engineering of this converted command tank with:

• Highly detailed Hotchkiss H39‑based hull with accurate French casting and rivet detail

• Correct German command‑tank modifications, including frame antenna and radio fittings

• Detailed turret with optional open/closed hatches

• Photo‑etched parts for fine external elements

• Link‑and‑length tracks for realistic sag and easy assembly

• Sharp molding and clean part fit for an enjoyable build

• Perfect for dioramas featuring occupation forces, rear‑area units, or captured equipment

This kit is ideal for modelers who enjoy unique WWII vehicles, captured armor, and historically rich subjects that stand out in any collection.
