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.

Kit highlights:

• Accurate 1/35 Somua S35 with 47mm SA 35 anti-tank gun
• All-cast rounded hull and APX-1 turret faithfully reproduced
• French Army 1940 campaign marking options
• German captured use marking options also possible
