The Renault R35 was one of the main designs of the French armed forces during World War II. Developed as the successor to the Renault FT-17, it was intended to provide effective infantry support during combat. Its first prototypes appeared as early as 1934. The "late" model denotes the later version equipped with the more modern 37mm SA38 Le/33 gun, which was more effective than the initial armament. In the late 1930s and early 1940s, the R35 was synonymous with reliability—famous for its thick cast armor, compact size, and a remarkably tight silhouette, exceptionally suited for defensive operations.

The Renault R35 played an important role during the French campaign in 1940. After France's capitulation, a significant number of these vehicles were captured and used by both German and Italian forces during the ensuing years of the war, making the Zebrano Z100-026 model an attractive choice for historical modelers as well as enthusiasts interested in alternative paint schemes and conversions.

The model is relatively simple to assemble, designed for both beginner and intermediate modelers (build difficulty: 2/5). The detailed reproduction of features allows the creation of an impressive miniature that maintains accurate proportions and historical authenticity.

We highly recommend the Zebrano Z100-026 to anyone building a collection of 1/100 scale World War II vehicles. The model allows you not only to create a French armored cavalry unit, but also to build dioramas based on battles from 1939-1945. It is a great choice for both those starting out in armored vehicle modeling and 20th-century military history enthusiasts.
