Pre-Order 1/35 French Anti-Tank Gun 47mm S.A 37 Deluxe Edition

Historical Context & Theme

The 47mm S.A 37 anti-tank gun, developed by the French Army before World War II, stood as one of the most advanced infantry support weapons of its time. In the early campaigns of 1940, it played a crucial role in the desperate battles against German Panzer divisions, capable of penetrating even the formidable armor of early Panzer III and IV tanks.

This Deluxe Edition by Dynamo Models captures the realism and tension of those frontline moments — French soldiers under pressure, operating their trusted 47mm gun in hastily prepared positions, determined to hold their ground against overwhelming odds. The set embodies both the bravery and technical proficiency of the crews who served during the Battle of France, a pivotal chapter in early WWII history.

Figure Details & Realism

Expertly sculpted in 1/35 scale, this deluxe resin set features four highly detailed French artillery crewmen, each in a unique pose reflecting authentic wartime action — aiming, loading, observing, and commanding.
Each figure includes interchangeable heads and optional gear, allowing for varied expressions and customization.

Uniforms display historically accurate details of the 1940 French Army: the iconic Adrian helmet, field jackets, ammo pouches, and crew harnesses. Folds, textures, and facial expressions are rendered with precision, offering painters a wealth of subtle surfaces for realism and storytelling.

Diorama & Display Use

Designed to complement French early-war scenes, this set pairs perfectly with Renault R35 or Hotchkiss H39 tanks, infantry positions, or roadblock dioramas.
The S.A 37 gun can be displayed in action, in ambush, or as an abandoned emplacement following retreat. Each crewman’s pose contributes to a dynamic tableau that tells a complete story — from preparation to the moment of fire.

For museum-style displays or competitive builds, the Deluxe Edition’s versatility offers endless possibilities for composition and atmosphere.

Material & Customization

Cast in high-quality resin, the kit ensures sharp definition, minimal cleanup, and precise alignment of parts.
Each figure includes optional headgear (Adrian helmet or bare head) and interchangeable accessories, allowing personalized arrangements for each scene.
Painters can emphasize weathering, dust, and fabric contrast to recreate the authentic texture of the 1940 campaign.

Assembly and painting are required, making it a rewarding project for modelers who enjoy fine craftsmanship and historical depth.
