1/72 France: Renault AMR35ZT2 reconnaissance tank, 25mm anti-tank gun

Description

Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The AMR 35 ZT2 was a light reconnaissance tank developed by France in the 1930s and designed by Renault.

Part of the AMR 35 series, the ZT2 variant was configured as a tank destroyer equipped with a 25mm anti-tank gun.
Although it was operated by the French Army, the AMR 35 ZT2 proved insufficient against the advancing German forces in the early stages of World War II.
As a result, many units were lost in combat, and some were captured and reused by the German Army.

Features

• Design: The AMR 35 featured a rear-mounted engine, improving weight distribution.
• Armament: The ZT2 was fitted with a 25mm SA 35 anti-tank gun, effective against lightly armored vehicles and enemy infantry.
• Armor: It had armor up to 13mm thick, which was relatively weak compared to main battle tanks of the time.
• Speed: With a top speed of 55 km/h, it offered good mobility.

Includes a booklet on the actual vehicle and the Polish campaign (in Polish/English). Even if you can’t read the text, you can enjoy the many included photos.
