Dès announces a 1/16 scale Renault R35 to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the battle of France.
No date or price specified yet.

Great news. Never enough early war vehicles.

Sweet! Wish it were injected plastic since I'd love to build one of these fugly beasts just for the laughs on the field. Bet that suspension would be a fun piece of work.

sorry for you
it's just in resin

any update regarding this kit?

The only update I have is that due to the over complexity of the master in some areas and for the most delicate parts and details adding that some parts are pretty tricky to mould, this prpject is suffering of a very long and unexpected delay.
But it will definitely remain a not so tricky model to build while the level of accruacy and detail will be just astronomic.0
It normally should be issued a bit earlier than by the end of the year.
I keep my fingers crossed.

P.S.: edited post with some clarifications.

This is a kit which obviously has been long overdue!
After a first publication for the 80th anniversary of the Battle of France, here it is finally pointing the tip of its barrel!
A pure marvel and a great world première for a French tank from 1940 in 1/16 scale!
The kit is 25.5cm long, 11.5cm wide and 7.5cm high.
All signed with the usual DÈS quality as we already know.
It will nevertheless be necessary to wait until mid to late January for us to have a detailed review of the beast.
Orders are already open with a selling price of 290 € (w/o shipping) but delivery will only be in the same schedule, so don't panic if you order today, you will of course be the first served but your credit card will actually be debited only on the day of dispatch; the seriousness and professionalism of the craftsman no longer need to be demonstrated.
