Its use of large cast hull and turret sections was ahead of its time, and its combination of a 47mm main gun and good mobility proved a worthy adversary for German tanks during the Battle of France in 1940.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 1\/35 scale kit from Tamiya is a highly accurate recreation of the S35, based on extensive measurements of a real vehicle. The model features realistic depictions of the cast metal surfaces on its rounded hull and turret. It includes realistic and easy-to-assemble link-type tracks, a commander figure, and three different marking options.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe model is based on extensive measurements of a real S35 for a highly accurate recreation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eRealistic cast metal surface textures are faithfully depicted on the hull and turret\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eLink-type assembly tracks provide excellent realism and are pre-removed from the sprue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eA commander figure is included to be positioned in the turret hatch\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree marking options and a colour camouflage pattern reference are included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe complex bogey suspension and side armour plates are captured with an intuitive parts layout\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eMetal parts are included to depict the tow chains for extra realism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenuine Tamiya Product\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eScale: 1\/35\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength: 153mm (6.02\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidth: 63mm (2.48\")\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeight: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003ePieces: N\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDecal Schemes: 3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eSkill Level: Intermediate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIncluded Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Model Kit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Commander Figure\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Set Of Link-Type Tracks\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Set of Metal Tow Chains\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Decal Sheet\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Instruction Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRequired Items\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eABS Plastic Safe Paint\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eModelling Glue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Tweezers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Scissors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Knives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e1x Modelling Files\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TAMIYA","offers":[{"title":"Hobbies Direct","offer_id":40426576019657,"sku":"10032953","price":80.81,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hobbyco","offer_id":40426752016585,"sku":"10032953","price":66.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/9803\/5810\/files\/fe1f7a74d5484cc4a2bbae5f3934a01b.webp?v=1761772916","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.com.au\/products\/tamiya-1-35-french-medium-somua-s35-tank-scaled-plastic-model-kit","provider":"JB Hi-Fi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
