The Tamiya 1/35 Somua S35 French Medium Tank (35344) reproduces what was arguably the finest Allied tank of the 1940 Battle of France — the Somua S35, which outclassed most German armour it faced in armour protection and firepower. With its fully cast hull and turret, 47mm anti-tank gun, and 55mm maximum armour thickness, the S35 was superior to contemporary German medium tanks — only poor tactical doctrine and command failures prevented it from halting the German advance.
Tamiya's 1/35 kit captures the S35's characteristic rounded cast armour, APX-1 turret, and French Army markings with excellent accuracy. A fascinating and important early-war Allied armour subject.
