Tamiya 1/35 Military Miniature Series FRENCH LIGHT TANK R35 japan NEW

Plastic military vehicle model assembly kit

[French main light tank confronting strong enemy]
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 body is composed of a lower part made of rolled steel plate and an upper part made of casting divided into three parts bolted.
The cast turret was also equipped with a short-barreled 37mm gun from the FT17, and had two crew members and a pilot.
In response to the German invasion in May 1940, the R35 provided high defense, but could not compete with German tanks using the old 37 mm gun, and struggled as the largest tank in the French army despite being struggling.
Mainly supporting infantry units, approximately 1,600 vehicles were produced by the truce in June of the same year.
