Zebrano Z100-025 Renault R35 French Light Tank (early) 1/100 is a unique plastic scale model kit representing the French Renault R35 infantry light tank in its early version. This model is made in precise 1/100 scale and is designed for enthusiasts of historical modeling as well as collectors of miniature armored vehicles from the World War II era.

The Renault R35 is a vehicle that played a key role during the French campaign in 1940 and in the early years of World War II. Designed as the successor to the famous Renault FT-17, it was widely used by the French army, and after the capitulation of France—also by the Wehrmacht and Italian forces. Its importance is reflected by the number produced, which totaled approximately 1,600 units in all versions.

This model is based on the early version of the Renault R35, used mainly by France between 1936 and 1940, including during the crucial battles of the 1940 campaign. The tank was armed with a 37 mm SA18 or SA38 cannon and a MAC31 7.5 mm machine gun, and its main advantage was solid cast armor protecting the crew from infantry and artillery fire. Despite its very good protection and armament, its main flaw was low mobility and overburdening the commander with too many responsibilities—something typical of many French designs of this era.
