WWII Renault R35 Late Version Tank

The R35 was designed to be light, cheap to build, with good armor and with a short 37mm gun, but all this makes this tank to have a very low speed. Also, with a crew of 2, this tank is a very small one. This model of FtF is very nice. With an overall good level of detail and mouldings that are very crisp. Another good thing is that the turret rear hatch can be left open or closed. Running gear (wheels and tracks) are one-piece castings, so lots of patience in the painting phase. The instructions are probably the weakest point of the whole otherwise successful kit. A small decal sheet with markings for three different vehicles is also provided, but only one version is explained. On the back of the small box are the assembly instructions and painting and markings scheme for one French version. This kit is very small, you have to build it with a magnifying glass, because of the micro parts and micro instructions. This important French light tank it's a great addition to a 1/72 WW2 Vehicle collector. Not for beginners, but highly recommended otherwise.
