Minaland 3DP 1/6 Renault R35
Minialand released some initial photos of his new Renault R35 light tank prototype work which will be offered in 1/6 scale just like his recently released FT-17. No word yet on expected release date but expected mid-summer.

That's his initial print which surprised me to see how far along he was in his design since I was feeding him reference material just two months earlier. He's already stated that he'll make proper hubs like shown in the first photo to cover the wheel screws. If you hadn't seen his recent FT-17 on Cults, you'll want to check it out.

Great! In 1939, there were about 50 of them used in Poland (although only a few of them took part in the fighting). Later, our tank brigade used the R-35 in France in 1940. I will probably scale it down to 1/16

R35 Progress & German Variant Option Coming
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.

But of course which follows his earlier FT-17. Expect it won't be the last given what I know is already in the works after this one.

It's beginning to look a bit more French.
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 large scale RC military vehicles.

Yea, am looking forward to getting the files for this one.
I came across a postwar version in Lebanon that mounted a 2 pounder. Interesting little beast even if wasn't the most reliable.

Minialand's R35 Update
Minialand's 1/6 R35 update that show off some nice details for this release due out next month. Keep in mind this is his working prototype so some details that are lacking as well fastener shown are not final.
The German beutepanzer 4.7cm Pak(t) (Sfl) auf Fgst.Pz.Kpfw.35 R 731(f) module will follow the R35 files he'll upload in July. Expect that to be available sometime in late August.
