Tamiya 1/35 French Light Tank R35 model kit

The R35 was adopted in 1935 as the successor to the Renault FT17, a French light tank that appeared at the end of World War I. The R35 provided high defense in response to the German invasion in May 1940, but it was unable to compete with German tanks with its 37mm gun. Approximately 1,600 of this tank were constructed by the truce in June of the same year.

This model kit from Tamiya features a slide-molded turret to achieve both a realistic texture and ease of assembly; the gun barrel will be movable left and right as well as vertically when assembled. The crawler tracks are connected and assembled. A commander figure is included, as are decals for two versions. Order yours today!
