1/6 Vânătorul de Care R-35 Turret Set: The Romanian Tank Hunter

Step into the specialized history of the Eastern Front with the meticulously engineered 1/6 Scale Vânătorul de Care Turret Set. Faced with the superior armor of Soviet T-34s, the Romanian military ingeniously up-gunned their French-built R-35 tanks by marrying the chassis to the powerful Soviet 45mm 20-K anti-tank gun. This large-scale replica captures the "extended" turret profile unique to this rare tank destroyer, providing the mechanical grit and historical authenticity required for a premier 1/6 scale armor collection.

Engineering Precision & Tactical Fidelity

High-Fidelity Armored Detail: At 1/6 scale, the structural "re-engineering" performed by the Romanians becomes a fascinating focal point. This model captures the Vânătorul de Care’s architecture with exquisite fidelity, featuring the prominent turret rear extension—designed to counterbalance the heavier main gun—and the accurately rendered 45mm barrel assembly. Every line is rendered with architectural sharpness, ensuring your build reflects the rugged, field-modified reality of Romanian armored units.

Comprehensive 6-Piece Assembly Suite: Meticulously researched to provide a complete structural upgrade for your R-35 chassis. This set includes:

• The Extended Turret: Captures the unique, elongated profile required for the 45mm conversion.
• 45mm Barrel & Support: Replicates the high-velocity Soviet-captured armament used in the Romanian upgrade.
• Full Hatch Set: Includes the Rear, Right, and Top hatches, allowing for dynamic posing with 1/6 scale (12-inch) tank commanders.

Choose Your Professional Material

To meet the demands of large-format armor modeling, we offer this set in two specialized high-performance materials:

• Tough Resin White: The premier choice for smooth surface fidelity. Renowned for its high toughness and hardness, this material captures minute details—like casting textures and weld seams—with surgical precision. It requires minimal post-processing, providing a professional, non-porous base for immediate priming.
• SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) - PA12: Engineered for maximum durability. This material delivers a slightly textured, matte surface that is exceptionally resilient. It is the ideal choice for modelers who intend to perform extensive physical customization or those looking for a robust, "battle-ready" component.

Key Features & Specifications

• Accurate 1/6 Scale: Precision-scaled for a massive presence, perfect for pairing with 1/6 scale (12-inch) Romanian or Axis tank crew figures.
• Complete Turret Conversion: Includes 6 high-detail parts (Turret, Barrel, Support, and 3 Hatches).
• Hollowed Engineering: Expertly designed to reduce material weight while maintaining a robust, "heavy plate" appearance.
• Unpainted Finish: Provides a blank canvas for your artistic vision. Recreate the Romanian "three-tone" camouflage or a weathered, Eastern Front winter whitewash.

A Canvas for Eastern Front Artistry

Unpainted for Total Customization: Arriving in its raw finish, the Vânătorul de Care set serves as the ultimate starting point for advanced weathering:

• The "Field Modification" Look: Apply a base of Romanian Green or a captured-camouflage scheme. The high-detail surface is ideal for depicting unique wear patterns—from "scuffed" hatch edges to heavy soot staining around the 45mm muzzle.
• Realistic Weathering: The 1/6 scale is the ideal playground for detailing. Apply light oil-washes to define the turret bolts and metallic "chipping" to the barrel support to achieve high levels of authenticity and realism.
