1/35 Panhard 178 AMD-35, WWII French Armoured Vehicle
ICM 1/35 Panhard 178 AMD-35 is a plastic kit of the French reconnaissance armoured car of spring 1940. The kit has 147 parts and markings for four cavalry vehicles. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The AMD-35 was the most numerous French armoured car. Panhard designed it as a reconnaissance vehicle for the cavalry, and from 1934 it was built in series as the Panhard 178. The four-wheeled car with a rear engine and all-wheel drive carried a 25 mm anti-tank gun as its main weapon; 551 had been built by 1940.
In spring 1940 these cars fought with French cavalry units, and the ICM kit focuses on exactly that period. All four decal options belong to armoured cuirassier regiments: three platoons of the 6e cuirassiers, 1st Light Mechanised Division, and the 3rd platoon of the 8e cuirassiers, 2nd Light Mechanised Division. The kit contains 147 parts; the model measures 145 × 69 mm.
French vehicles of the 1940 campaign are less common in display cases, so the Panhard in original French Army colours makes an interesting addition to a collection of the early war years. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
