Heller – 79875 – Somua S 35

Description:

Somua S 35

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale of a French WWII tank Somua S 35, considered as the most capable French tank in service at the German invasion in 1940.

As occurs with some other Heller products this one has been repacked with several product codes through years, as 79875, 197 or 71221.

Kit can be also found as “starter” kit with paint, glue and brushes under code number 56875.

The kit is correct in shape and size, but detail is soft and mould already had signs of age in the 90s (originally kit was tooled in 1979), we don’t know till which point the mould has been restored in the last years of the brand under new ownership. Tracks are single piece type, and at least originally, stiff and thick.
