Hobby Boss 83862 Schneider CA 1/35 Scale Military Model Kit  [HB-83862]

Hobby Boss 1/35 Schneider CA - Authentic WWI Armour Replica

The Schneider CA 1 holds a place in military history as the first French tank to be deployed in combat in World War I. Its debut on April 16, 1917 faced setbacks, but later deployments helped blunt enemy offensives and contributed to Allied operations. This Hobby Boss kit captures that early armoured design for scale modellers and museum-style displays.

Construction Highlights and Context

This 1/35 scale model is carefully engineered to echo the original vehicle's silhouette. The set contains over 380 pieces, with photo-etched parts and individual track links to boost realism. Precision slide-moulding on the turret and hull improves alignment and detail, offering an absorbing project for seasoned modellers.

Display Appeal

As a finished model, the Schneider CA makes an informative exhibit of early tank design. Detailed components and faithful proportions help the model stand out in collections and on diorama bases portraying trench-era scenes.
