15mm/1:100 scale French Somua S35 cavalry tank – solid resin, hand-painted, and weathered. Ideal for collectors and wargaming.
The SOMUA S35 was a French cavalry tank used during the early stages of World War II. Developed in the 1930s, it was considered one of the most advanced tanks of its time, featuring a cast and welded steel hull that provided strong armor protection. The S35 was equipped with a 47mm SA 35 gun, which was effective against most contemporary armored vehicles, and a 7.5mm machine gun for infantry defense. Its mobility was ensured by a reliable 190-horsepower engine, allowing a top speed of around 25 miles per hour. Despite its strengths, the S35 suffered from a one-man turret design, which placed a heavy workload on the commander, and mechanical reliability issues. Nonetheless, it was respected by both allies and adversaries for its robust armor and firepower.
