Panzer Art GB35-037 Somua 35 mantlet with Puteaux S35 gun 1/35 – Upgrade Set

The Panzer Art GB35-037 Somua 35 mantlet with Puteaux S35 gun in 1/35 scale upgrade set is an exceptional offer for modelers looking to enhance the level of detail in their French SOMUA S35 tank models. This product was developed by the renowned Panzer Art company, well known for its top-quality modeling accessories for armored vehicles.

The SOMUA S35 was one of the most technologically advanced French tanks of World War II. Designed and produced in France from 1936 to 1940, it was used by the French Army during the French Campaign in 1940. Later, these tanks were also used by the Germans and some collaborationist units. It was highly valued for its excellent armor and high maneuvering performance, and its Puteaux SA 35 gun allowed it to effectively engage German tanks at the outset of the war.

The GB35-037 set includes a highly detailed tank mantlet and a precisely crafted metal 47mm Puteaux S35 gun barrel, significantly improving the realism of your replica compared to standard plastic kit parts. The product is made from high-quality resin and comes with a turned aluminum (barrel) component, ensuring maximum dimensional accuracy with the original and exceptional durability.

I recommend the Panzer Art GB35-037 set to all intermediate and advanced modelers who seek outstanding historical accuracy and the highest level of realism in their builds. The set components are easy to adapt to most available 1/35 scale SOMUA S35 plastic kits (e.g., Tamiya, Heller, Hobby Boss). The high quality of the details will noticeably transform the appearance and authenticity of the turret and the replica overall. It is an excellent choice for dioramas and collections connected with battles on the Western Front in 1940.

The set belongs to the category of resin upgrade elements for plastic models. It ensures a noticeable difference in the precision of the final result compared to the original plastic parts. Highly recommended especially for historical modeling enthusiasts and fans of French armored vehicles.
