Tamiya 35344 - 1/35 Somua S35 French Medium Tank Model Kit for Collectors  [35344]

Tamiya 35344 1/35 Somua S35 - Detailed Model Overview

The Somua S35 stands out among 1930s French armour as a cavalry tank with a bolted cast hull. Armed with a 47mm main gun and driven by a 190hp V8 petrol engine, it could reach speeds near 40 km/h. Production ran to roughly 430 machines between 1936 and June 1940, and the S35 saw action in Belgium and Northern France during the opening stages of World War II.

Construction Realism and Parts

The Tamiya 35344 kit recreates the S35 in 1/35 scale, replicating the leaf-sprung suspension system with its four bogies and paired wheels. Link-type assembly tracks are supplied to help modelmakers achieve an authentic finished appearance.

Display Qualities and Historical Context

Completed dimensions are 153mm long by 63mm wide, making the kit a compact but detailed addition to a display cabinet. The decal sheet offers three marking sets so you can build different historically based versions.
