ICM 35573 Laffly (f) Typ V15T WWII German military vehicle 1/35 – Plastic model kit

The plastic model kit ICM 35573 Laffly (f) Typ V15T is a precise replica of the French light artillery tractor in the popular 1/35 scale. This is a unique model of a historical armored vehicle that was originally used by the French army and later captured and deployed by German forces during World War II.

Historical Description:

The Laffly V15T was developed by the French company Laffly as a light artillery tractor, designed primarily for towing 25 mm SA Model 1934 anti-tank guns. The design was developed on the eve of World War II, and production plans aimed for almost 1,500 units to be made by September 1940. However, less than 200 were actually completed due to France's defeat and the Armistice at Compiègne cutting production short. After the German occupation of France, these vehicles were captured and put into service with the Wehrmacht as trophy vehicles, also designated "Laffly (f)" among other names.

Distinctive features of the Laffly V15T included four-wheel drive, compact size, and very good off-road mobility. The vehicle was mainly used on the Western Front in the early years of the war for transporting guns and artillery crews.
