The R35 light support tank (French: Char léger d'accompagnement 1935 R) was a French light infantry tank, produced in the 1930s. It was developed in 1934–1935 to replace the obsolete FT-17 infantry support tanks. During serial production from 1935 to 1940, 1,630 units were produced, making it the most widely produced French tank of the interwar period. France actively supplied it to other countries; 560 of the produced tanks were intended for export. With the outbreak of World War II, France actively used the R 35 in combat operations in 1940, and after the capitulation, the Vichy Army in battles with the Allies in North Africa. The majority of the French R 35 tanks, about 800, were captured by the Wehrmacht and were used by 1944 under the name "Panzerkampfwagen 35R 731 (f)". A number of tanks of this type were also transferred to the German allies.

A well-designed and excellently detailed tank model without internal equipment for modelers of any experience, except for complete beginners. Advanced beginners and less experienced modelers are recommended to work under the supervision of a more experienced colleague and this model should not be one of the first more complex models You glue. The model depicts a tank, captured and used by the German Wehrmacht in standard gray German camouflage, which has been "rubbed" in battles. Excellent graphics and quite a lot of textual instructions, but there is no color stock - although some of it can be saved from the detail other sides colored gluing squares.
