Do you have to have the tank commander sticking out the back or does it come with a plain hatch door?

The R39 is a variant of the Renault R35, but armed with the heavier 37mm SA38 L/33 gun, allowing it to operate in an anti-tank capacity.

Bolt Action Renault R39

The model comes with a tank commander, and is based on the standard R35 hull.

Bolt Action Renault R40

The Renault R40 or Char léger modèle 1935 R modifié 1939 was an improvement of the Renault R35, of which it is often considered a variant. The main improvement was the suspension, which was influenced by that on the early Char D1 and D2 designs.

Bolt Action Renault R40

Whilst predominantly serving with French units, the R40 also saw service as part of the Polish 10th Armored Cavalry Brigade in 1940, so this new vehicle should appeal to Polish players, too!

Bolt Action Renault R35

Also available are the R35 and the R35 platoon deal – designed to save you a few francs!

Bolt Action P16 Schneider

Or, for something rather different, look no further than our spiffing P16 Schneider halftrack!
