Tamiya 35373 - 1/35 Renault R35 Light Tank kit for military modellers  [35373]

Tamiya 35373 overview - the 1/35 Renault R35 for scale builders

The Tamiya 1/35 Renault R35 model kit presents a faithful small scale representation of an important WWII French light tank. Designed to reflect the R35's role during the Fall of France, this kit captures many period details and the character of the original vehicle, which saw roughly 1,500 units produced.

Why the R35 appeals to scale modellers

This kit reproduces the R35's 37mm gun with realistic elevation and limited traverse, alongside the cast turret and bolted hull surfaces that define the design. Builders will find the assembly demands rewarding, with accurate surface details and subtle-fitting parts that encourage careful painting and finishing.

Build features and workshop notes

The set includes assembly-type tracks designed to show authentic upper run sag, plus a crew figure posed on the turret hatch to enliven displays. There are two marking choices and a painting guide to help recreate period French camouflage patterns; paint and adhesives are not included.
