Hobby Boss 83893 French R39 Light Infantry Tank 1/35

Hobby Boss 83893 French R39 Light Infantry Tank 1/35 is a high-quality plastic model kit that faithfully reproduces the appearance of the French R39 light infantry tank with exceptional precision. This model is in 1/35 scale, which means every detail is accurately replicated to match the original, allowing modelers to create a realistic replica of a vehicle used during World War II.

The Renault R35 tank and its improved version, the R39, were designed in the mid-1930s as support for French infantry units. Produced from 1936, the R35 was equipped with relatively thick armor for its time and a 37 mm cannon, but was slower and less well armed compared to other tanks of the era. The R39, a modification of the R35, featured upgraded armament, increasing its effectiveness against armored targets. At its peak of use in June 1940, about 1685 units of these vehicles had been produced. The Renault R35 and R39 were used not only by the French army but were also exported to Poland, Romania, Turkey, and Yugoslavia. After France's capitulation, a large number of these tanks entered service with the German army and its allies, where they were often converted into tank destroyers.
