Minialand has released some initial photos of his new Renault R35 light tank prototype work. Will be offered in 1/6 scale just like his recently released FT-17. No word yet on expected release date but expect mid-summer.

Great! In 1939, there were about 50 of them in Poland. Later, our brigade used the R-35 in France in 1940.

Minialand's R35 prototype work is progressing well.

This week's update as the hull being assembled & finish work begins.
Once the R35 base model is complete & uploaded to Cults, he'll begin work on a German variant, the 4.7 cm PaK(t) (Sfl.) auf Fgst.Pz.Kpfw.35 R 731. This will be offered as an option similar to how he did with the FT-17 octagon turret module with files specifically needed for the conversion.

You can follow his progress on Facebook.

R35 progress with files to be released later next month.

Ok NOOOOOW you have my attention !!
Assume these STL's can be reduced for 16th scale without too much hassle ?

It's beginning to look a bit more French.

Am planning to do the same for 1/10 so presume anything is possible. Files will be available sometime next month.

What until you see whats to come down the road once he finishes this & the VW Combi he's put on hold while completing the R35. Will be a fun year ahead for anyone interested in scale RC military vehicles.

1/6 model is made with specific bolts and bearings in mind. I'm also planning to scale it to 1/16 so we will see

Yes, always account for every component when scaling up or down.

BTW, I was just given a preview on one exciting feature for this model that had not been shown before. Had to pick my jaw off the floor after seeing his CAD. Stay tuned!
