Trumpeter 00351 France 35/38(H) TANK SA 18 37mm gun (1/35) – plastic model kit

The presented Trumpeter 00351 France 35/38(H) TANK SA 18 37mm gun model in 1/35 scale is a high-quality plastic assembly kit accurately replicating the famous French light tank from World War II. The model is manufactured by the renowned Trumpeter company, known for its precision and attention to detail.

The Renault R35 tank, also designated 35/38(H) after being taken over by the German army, was the main light tank of the French army in the 1930s and during the 1940 French campaign. France used this vehicle, among others, during the Battle of France, where it stood out thanks to its thick, cast armor and armament with the 37 mm SA 18 cannon. After the capitulation of France, a large number of these vehicles were captured and modified by the Wehrmacht, where they received the designation Panzerkampfwagen 35R 731(f) and were used on the Eastern Front, in France, and as support vehicles and artillery tractors until the end of the war.

The Trumpeter model stands out thanks to its highly detailed reproduction of the hull, suspension components, and turret. The manufacturer ensured correct proportions, meticulous casting texture of the armor, and detailed weaponry, such as the 37 mm SA 18 gun barrel. The kit is made entirely of high-quality plastic, which guarantees ease of processing and durability after assembly. The model does not include glue or paints—these need to be purchased separately, according to your modeling needs.
