Cobi #2553 Renault R35 2-in-1 Tank

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 used in the Great War. The advantage of the tank was its modern design and armor that was impressive for that time. The disadvantage was certainly the engine with poor performance and the one-man turret forced the vehicle commander to perform duties assigned to several crew members in other vehicles. Also the 37mm cannon was not very effective.

Poland purchased 100 Renault R-35 tanks from France and in July, 1939, the first batch of about 50 were delivered. They were used 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.

You can build a model of the Renault created from 522 COBI construction bricks. Movable track traction, rotating turret, prints, double Polish and French emblems and a tanker figure make the vehicle not only a great exhibition piece, but also a fun toy for almost anyone. Clear and intuitive instructions easily guide the builder through the stages of assembling the vehicle. High-quality, durable prints increase the aesthetics of the model, as well. The whole set is complemented by a plate with the name of the vehicle printed on it. Build our history, block by block.
