1/35 French R35 Light Tank
The Very nice Tamiya [ill-fated] Light French R35 Tank...Not a bad tank if used correctly. A match for the Panzer I and II's no doubt...if used in conjunction with communication and mutual support?
Now everyone tells me the popularity of German aircraft and armor is the camouflage schemes...Here is an interesting camouflage scheme & I rarely see it on the show tables? Perhaps if it was in German markings? LOL
Been delving into some armor topics in between my aircraft builds!

Beautiful build. Your correct about the camo scheme, very interesting. The French definitely had some cool camo patterns. Maybe build a captured German tank with this camo, maybe a what if build, everyone might go wild, one way or the other!
Ah yes the French armor schemes are all over the place, from overall green to multicolor, my favorite is when the turrets and hulls are made in different plants and don't match! Nice job on the Renoir, oops mean Renault.
A wonderful model, Steven! Indeed absolutely cool scheme that you rendered perfectly!
Really nice build, Steven @sjcorvi
The camouflage scheme is indeed very nice as is the base to display it.
I bet that was fun to paint. Nice job Steve especially on the tank commander.
Nice work, Steven. I agree that French armor has a certain attraction for modeling.
An interesting paint scheme, for sure. You did a great job on it. @sjcorvi
Thanks guys It was a fun build I highly rec. this kit!
I actually picked up the Char Bis 1 & the Somua S35 tank kits from Tamiya to accompany this one

There's a YouTube video showing a French tank of this era being painted in the factory - with the black lining being done with a spray gun! Great build and scene, Steven. Hope that little guy hangs on tight!
