Hobby Boss 83862 - 1/35 Schneider CA - Armored   [HB-83862]

The Schneider CA 1 (originally called the Schneider CA) ended up being the initial French tank. The tanks were widely used in combat over the last war years. Their very first action on 16 April 1917 was mainly a deep failing, the tank devices enduring heavy losings, but subsequent engagements were more productive. In 1918 the Schneider tanks played a significant rôle in halting the German Spring Offensive and breaking the German front within the French summer offensives. They certainly were active before end of September 1918, lower than two months before the Armistice of 11 November 1918, their figures having fallen dramatically due to attrition. After the war the surviving tanks had been mostly rebuilt as energy cars but six Schneider tanks had been deployed by Spain in Morocco, the kind seeing its final action in the very beginning of the Spanish Civil War.
