Tamiya 32411 AMD 35 FRENCH ARMORED CAR 1940 (1/35)

Tamiya 32411 AMD 35 FRENCH ARMORED CAR 1940 plastic model kit in 1/35 scale is aimed at modellers interested in military history and armoured vehicles from World War II. Renowned manufacturer Tamiya has prepared a faithful miniature of the French Panhard AMD 35 armoured car, also known as the Panhard 178, which participated in combat against the German army in the spring of 1940 during the French campaign.

This model stands out for its high quality construction and abundance of fine details. The Panhard AMD 35 was a French design, used by the French army from the late 1930s. It was designed as a fast, manoeuvrable reconnaissance vehicle, characterised by excellent mobility and the typical French 4x4 drive system. In 1940, it formed the backbone of the Armée de Terre's motorised cavalry units. After the fall of France, some vehicles were captured and used by the Germans under their own designation—Panzerspähwagen P204 (f)—on various fronts throughout World War II.

Operational period: 1939–1945, World War II. The model represents the 1940 version, which was in service with French forces during the May–June campaign.
