Model & Die-Cast Cobi Renault R35 540 Pcs

The Renault R35, An Abbreviation Of Char LÉGer ModÈLe 1935 R Or R 35, Was A French Light Infantry Tank Of The Second World War. Designed From 1933 Onwards And Produced From 1936, The Type Was Intended As An Infantry Support Light Tank, Equipping Autonomous Tank Battalions, That Would Be Allocated To Individual Infantry Divisions To Assist Them In Executing Offensive Operations. To This End, It Was Relatively Well-Armoured But Slow And Lacking A Good Antitank Capacity, Fitted With A Short 37 Mm Gun. At The Outbreak Of The War, The Antitank Role Was More Emphasized Leading To The Development And Eventual Production From April 1940 Of A Subtype With A More Powerful Longer Gun, The Renault R40.
