French Armored Car Modele 1914

The model is based on the original vehicle, which was developed on the chassis of a renowned French automotive brand. The first examples of the Armored Car Modele 1914 were used by the French army from 1914 and took part in combat operations during World War I—mainly on the Western Front, but also in the Balkans and Russia. These vehicles were used for reconnaissance, staff protection, and maintaining communication lines.
