Schneider CA Early 1/35 Scale Kit with Period Relevance

The Schneider CA 1 was among the earliest French operational tanks and this model seeks to reflect its wartime appearance. It is suited to modellers who enjoy historically grounded subjects and those building small-scale battle scenes from World War I.

Parts Count and Detailing Highlights

The kit contains in excess of 380 parts, including slide-moulded components for accurate shapes. A single photo-etched fret provides fine metal details and the individual track links improve realism for static presentations or museum-style displays.

Historical Notes for Modellers and Collectors

Deployment of the Schneider CA during key 1918 offensives and its later service life make it a rewarding subject for collectors. The tank's subsequent adaptations and overseas appearances provide modelling angles from combat to support roles.

Achieving a museum finish requires careful seam cleanup, precise painting, subtle weathering and neat application of the photo-etched parts. Use fine brushes and thin paints for best control.
The model focuses on exterior accuracy and surface detail. It does not include extensive interior fittings, so interior dioramas may require aftermarket parts or scratch building.
Modellers sometimes add brass barrels, additional photo-etched sets or resin accessories to enhance fine detail. Check compatibility and scale before purchasing upgrades.
