It has more armour on top than either frontally or to the side.
A modern Fiat 500 is bigger, and has more engine capacity!

:o

Where were the crew?

If you look at the photo of the commander sitting "on top", where the hell is he going to go?

Pedals?

It's just so dinky and diddy and wouldn't a few dozen of these be a fine sight on a table?

Not only that, were 'recycled' and used by the Germans:-

Why would you want a T35? It'll cost a fortune.

By the time you factor in the metal in the tank itself, one version of the crew trying to fix the vehicle and a second of the crew running away because they couldn't fix it it's going to be a very expensive objective marker. :)

Look good in a large bomb crater with a rail flat car on top of it..
I agree almost as much use as mythical transformers or strange middle Americans, and perhaps even 1960's armoured bridge layers.
