{"product_id":"french-medium-tank-somua-s35","title":"Tamiya 1\/35 French Medium Tank SOMUA S35 – Early-War Cavalry Tank Model Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003e\nConsidered one of the finest tank designs of its era, the SOMUA S35 represented the pinnacle of French cavalry armor at the outset of WWII. With well-sloped cast armor up to 56mm thick and a potent 47mm SA 35 gun, the S35 outclassed many of its contemporaries—including early German Panzer III variants—through a balance of firepower, protection, and mobility.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nAlthough limited by doctrine and deployment during the 1940 campaign, the SOMUA S35 proved itself repeatedly in combat, earning respect from both Allied and Axis forces. After France’s defeat, captured vehicles were operated by German units, and later, liberated examples even saw service with Free French forces as the war progressed.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis 1\/35 scale model kit recreates the S35 with excellent attention to the tank’s distinctive cast hull construction, leaf-sprung suspension, and compact turret arrangement. Link-type tracks offer realistic sag and detail, while the included tow chain and commander figure add character to a finished scene. Three marking options allow builders to create a vehicle from different stages of the S35’s varied service life.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tamiya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50348994625783,"sku":"MH_TAM35344_HH","price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/3324\/8759\/files\/a8cd867da546a435fe9055f465c0a6b4.jpg?v=1765498742","url":"https:\/\/checkout.miniaturehobbies.com\/products\/french-medium-tank-somua-s35","provider":"Miniature Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
