Hobby Boss 83862 Schneider CA 1/35 Precision Scale Kit  [HB-83862]

Hobby Boss 1/35 Schneider CA - Scale Reproduction of a WWI Tank

The Schneider CA 1 marks an important chapter in armour history as the first French tank to see action in World War I. Its inaugural engagement on April 16, 1917 was problematic, but later sorties showed the type could contribute to halting enemy moves and supporting infantry advances. This Hobby Boss kit renders that early tank in scale for collectors and workshop hobbyists.

Kit Overview and Period Notes

Produced at 1/35 scale, the model captures the Schneider CA's distinct profile. The kit contains over 380 parts, including photo-etched items and separate track links to enhance realism. The multi-directional slide-moulded components for the turret and hull increase accuracy and make the assembly satisfying for experienced builders.

Collector and Display Considerations

A completed Schneider CA model works well as both a historical exhibit and a highlight piece in a collection. Its mix of early-armour engineering and fine moulding detail provides scope for weathering and diorama work.
