Tamiya 1/35 French Medium Tank Somua S35 Model Kit

Why This Kit Is Special

The Somua S35 was a very advanced French cavalry tank for its time, combining well-sloped cast armor (up to ~47 mm front), a powerful 47 mm SA35 gun, and agility in battlefield conditions. This model captures those defining features in scale, and adds modelling conveniences like crisp moulding, realistic texture, and optional detail elements. A solid choice for both experienced modellers and those interested in French WWII armour.
