When I was a kid, I was a competitive IPMS builder. After I joined the military, all my displays were broken in moves and then as I got older, my eyes got worse and my motivation declined. After twenty years of modeling intermission, I recently started again thanks to you. You motivated me to take up the hobby again. Thank you.

My wifes grandfather was with an anti-tank company in the 85th Division in Italy. There are pictures in his album of these that were abandoned by the Germans who used them to guard airfields.

Did you know that the 'dome' on the turret actually had a slot or clasp that the commander plug his helmet in and turn it with his head to use the sight for the cupola

ohh congratulations Andy!!! really I loved the way you Painted it and how you did it, actually now I am finishing the Tamiya's Char B1 Bis and truly looking forward to the Somua and next this H35 Hotchkiss in order to increase WWII french tank collection, grettings from Mexico and keep up the great work.

Tamiya producing some great kits these last several years and this is kit is no exeception . What is both enjoyable and challenging is painting and weathering early WW2 French tanks , using both airbrush and paint brush . Plenty of reference material out there too. Looking forward when my kit is in stock and arrives on my work bench.

Great video!!!! Definitely will get this kit of the R35 tank from Tamiya. Have attempted this same vehicle from other manufacturers and would always end in failure. With Tamiya precision engineering, should FINALLY have a kit of this vehicle completed. Also, love the French camo patterns, have done that on the Char B1 bis and S35 tanks - looks great.

The Tamiya extra thin cement works great for gluing those individual track links together. I was using regular model cement and end up gluing the track links to the tweezers. I use a spare computer fan to blow the fumes of the Tamiya thin cement away

I believe the factories initially painted the tanks before issuing them to the troops. Some of the factories came up with some very gaudy and exotic color schemes. Anyway, eventually they moved to a more basic three tone simplified style later on. If memory serves me correctly.

I just finished this tank. Wonderful fit. But I must has done something wrong because I did do the track similar to you, but I had a lot more trouble with getting them to fit. Also, word to the wise: the fit is actually so tight on this, priming your parts ahead of time will cause them not to fit right. I did that and my commander's cupola literally wouldn't pop in and turn. Great kit all the same.

Another great model, Andy! I was thinking of painting the model overall black first (when it comes out of course), and then using a thin string of Silly Putty to mask the the black on the camouflage. Think that will work or is the model to small for that? As well, do you ever use a paint brush for overall painting (i.e. tires) or are you strictly an "airbrush man" for painting?

Interesting vehicle, first line french but 2nd or 3rd rate when captured by Germany. I wonder if the reason the museum tanks and color pictures show them as having a gloss paint is that they were waxed? If I remember at that time the french were into neat and shiny equipment.
