FRENCH LIGHT TANK R35

DESCRIPTION
Tamiya’s French tank model kits have become well known for their
unique subject matter and superb historical accuracy. This kit
recreates the R35. It was originally designed as a successor to
the late-WWI Renault FT, and inherited its 37mm gun, paired with
a cast turret and three-piece bolted cast hull. Around 1,500 were
manufactured after its official adoption in 1935; they were one
of the main pillars of the French attempt to resist the German
onslaught during the Fall of France in May/June 1940.

- 1/35 scale plastic model kit. Length: 114mm, width: 55mm.
- The 37mm gun offers elevation and (as on the actual R35) 5
degrees of traverse to either side.
- Assembly type tracks allow fuss-free depiction of upper run
‘sag.’ They feature one-piece straight sections.
- Comes with two marking options, and a figure perched on the
hatch in the turret rear.
- Color painting guide included which aids with recreation of the
intricate French camouflage pattern.
