Hobby Boss 83809 1/35 Renault R35 Infantry Tank Kit  [HB-83809]

Hobby Boss 1/35 Renault R35 Model Overview

The Renault R35 served as a compact French light infantry tank in the Second World War, built to protect foot soldiers with strong armor. Although it was not fast and had limited anti-tank reach, the R35 played a key role in early wartime operations and later evolved into the R40 with an upgraded gun. By June 1940 the R35 ranked as France's highest-production tank and examples were pressed into service by Germany and several other nations including Poland, Romania and Turkey.
