COBI 2553 Renault R35

The Renault R-35 is a popular French light infantry tank (Char légere model 1935R) from the beginning of World War II. The name Renault R-35, although very popular, was not an official term. The R-35 was the successor to the old Renault FT-17 tank that was from the Great War. The advantage of the tank was its modern design and good armor for those times. The disadvantage was certainly the engine with very poor performance and the one-man turret forcing the vehicle commander to perform duties assigned to several crew members in other vehicles. Also, after the Great War, the 37mm cannon was not very effective anymore. Poland purchased 100 Renault R-35 tanks from France. in July 1939, the first batch of about 50 were delivered. They were placed into use in September 1939. In the face of the defeat, some of the machines were sent to Romania and Hungary. The transport of another 50 units did not manage to reach Poland.
