Bolt Action French Renault R39 Tank
Bolt Action French Renault R39 Tank
The Renault R39 was an improved version of the Renault R35, featuring a more powerful 37mm SA38 gun and enhanced battlefield effectiveness. Designed as a light infantry support tank, it played a key role in the defense of France during the German invasion of 1940. Though outmatched by more modern German armor, the R39’s improved firepower gave it a better chance against enemy vehicles compared to its predecessor.
Features:
- 37mm SA38 main gun: Upgraded firepower over the standard R35, improving anti-tank capabilities.
- Compact and maneuverable: Ideal for supporting infantry and engaging enemy positions.
- Highly detailed model: Perfect for historical wargaming and collectors.
Why Choose the French Renault R39?
- Stronger than the R35: A solid upgrade with better battlefield performance.
- Great for early-war scenarios: Fits well into Bolt Action games set in 1940 France.
- Unique addition to French forces: A rare but historically significant tank.
Product Info:
This 1/56 scale resin and metal kit requires assembly and painting. Supplied unpainted with waterslide decals included. Compatible with Bolt Action wargaming rules.
About the Vehicle:
An evolution of the Renault R35, the Renault R39 was designed to provide better anti-tank capabilities by replacing the SA18 gun with the more powerful SA38 cannon. Despite this improvement, the tank still suffered from a one-man turret, which made combat operations difficult. Used primarily in 1940, a number of R39s were later captured and repurposed by German forces.
About the Model:
This finely detailed 1/56 scale model accurately depicts the Renault R39’s distinctive compact design. With its rotating turret and historical details, this model is a fantastic choice for both Bolt Action players and historical collectors.
