Schneider CA Early 1/35 Replica with Historic Detail

The Schneider CA 1 is widely regarded as one of France's earliest operational tanks, and this kit aims to convey its historical role in World War I. The model highlights the vehicle's involvement during major 1918 operations and its contribution to later postwar uses, offering a faithful subject for modellers interested in early armored vehicles.

Build Detail and Display Appeal

This 1/35 scale kit from Hobby Boss contains over 380 parts for a detailed build. The multi-directional slide-molded pieces give clean shapes and fitting, while the single sheet of photo-etched parts adds crisp surface detail. Individual track links are supplied to recreate the original running gear and improve display realism.

Operational History and Collector Notes

The Schneider CA's service across late war offensives and subsequent utility roles makes it a strong choice for dioramas or display cabinets. Its later appearances in conflicts such as the Spanish Civil War add historical layers that appeal to collectors and modellers who like narrative displays.

With 380 plus parts and photo-etched components, the kit suits modellers with some build experience. Careful trimming and steady glue work will produce the best results.
The separate track links allow realistic shaping and can be posed for static display, but they are not designed for running use on RC platforms without modification.
A muted olive or earth base with light chipping and mud effects brings out the panel detail. Thin washes and subtle drybrushing highlight the cast and riveted surfaces.
