Renault R35 History:
The Renault R35, an abbreviation of Char léger Modèle 1935 R or R 35, was a French light infantry tank of the Second World War.
Designed from 1933 onwards and produced from 1936, the type was intended as an infantry support light tank, equipping autonomous tank battalions, that would be allocated to individual infantry divisions to assist them in executing offensive operations. To this end it was relatively well-armoured but slow and lacking a good antitank-capacity, fitted with a short 37Â mm gun. At the outbreak of the war, the antitank-role was more emphasized leading to the development and eventual production from April 1940 of a subtype with a more powerful longer gun, the Renault R40. It was planned to shift new production capacity to the manufacture of other, faster, types, but due to the defeat of France the R35/40 remained the most numerous French tank of the war, about 1685 vehicles having been produced by June 1940. At that moment it had also been exported to Poland, Romania, Turkey and Yugoslavia. For the remainder of the war Germany and its allies would use captured vehicles, some of them rebuilt into tank destroyers.

Another great Cobi tank! Really glad to see them doing more obscure vehicles as of late, hope we see them revisiting some Polish tanks in the future!

Fun little kit to build.
I thought it was going to be a 1:35 kit, given it didn’t explicitly say it was 1:28; but, when I did the math on it it was much closer to 1:28 than 1:35. The R35 might not be my favorite tank; but, it’s a fun little camo paint scheme with some nice detail.

Like all Cobi tanks, this does not disappoint. Build is interesting and the detail is splendid. Chose the French markings, so there would be at least one in my collection! I wish they would come out with a Char B1 Bis…

A fast and easy build. Another nice historic tank model by Cobi and from Warbricks. As always, the pad printing and custom pieces place Cobi in a category by itself.
