Early Schneider CA in 1/35 Scale with Period Accuracy

The Schneider CA 1 holds a place in early tank history as a French operational machine from World War I. This kit captures its wartime presence and later service life, providing modellers with a compact but historically informed subject for display or research projects.

Construction Quality and Detail Options

Hobby Boss supplies over 380 components in this 1/35 offering, using slide-mould techniques to retain crisp detail. The included photo-etched fret adds thin metal parts for finer scale realism, and the individual track links let builders shape realistic runs for diorama scenes.

Service Record and Modelling Appeal

The Schneider CA saw action in critical 1918 offensives and later served in secondary roles, making it interesting for modellers who prefer machines with a varied service history. It is well suited to display topics covering early armoured tactics and interwar adaptations.

Beginners can tackle this build but should expect fine parts and photo-etched pieces. Take time on subassemblies and consider practicing on spare sprues before adding photo-etch.
The kit is designed as a static scale replica. Converting it for movement requires custom work to the hull and tracks and is not supported out of the box.
The single photo-etched sheet provides slim, accurate elements such as grills or brackets that improve scale fidelity compared with plastic equivalents.
