Finally got one the right size, other producers having not been able to rectify their file size. Most sources quote a 5.8m length and people have assumed it includes the gun, whereas that is the hull length, as shown by scale plans in Histoire & Collections book French Tanks and Armoured Vehicles 1914-1940. Model comes as single piece item with separate turret. The only work needed is to lightly file a bit more out of the turret ring to get a smooth turret rotation, and drilling out the end of the gun barrel. Good model of an unusual prototype which was only weeks away from seeing combat.
