1/35 FCM 36, French Light Tank in German Service
ICM 1/35 FCM 36, French Light Tank in German Service is a plastic kit of the French light tank captured by the Wehrmacht. It has 158 parts. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
After the defeat of France in the summer of 1940, a large amount of French armour fell into Wehrmacht hands, much of it in perfect condition. The German army went on to use these vehicles in various combat operations and as auxiliary and training equipment.
The captured vehicles included FCM 36 tanks that had previously served with two French tank battalions and had taken part in several actions in the spring and summer of 1940. A number of them went to the Wehrmacht, and many later became the basis for self-propelled anti-tank guns and self-propelled howitzers.
The ICM kit in 1/35 scale has 158 parts, and the finished model measures approximately 126 × 62 mm. The decals cover three options: Panzerkampfwagen 737 FCM (f) around 1940 and two tanks of the French 4th and 7th battalions (nos. 30061 and 30022) captured by German forces in June 1940. The model thus links the French and German chapters of this tank's history. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
Nationality: Germany, France. Period: World War II.
