ICM 35373 Panhard 178 AMD-35 WWII French Armored Vehicle (1/35)

The ICM 35373 model is a faithful replica of the French Panhard 178 AMD-35 armored car, designed in the popular 1/35 scale. This is a plastic model kit, made from high-quality material and intended for modelers who value historical authenticity and precise reproduction of details.

The French Panhard 178 AMD-35 (Automitrailleuse de Découverte) was one of the most important armored cars of the Second World War in the French army. Introduced into service in 1937, it served as basic equipment for the French armored cavalry and reconnaissance units. It stood out for its modern design, four-wheel drive, and a specially designed, sealed, and well-armored turret. It saw combat from the very first days of the French campaign in 1940 as part of the French army, and after France's defeat, some vehicles were taken over and used by the Germans and the collaborating Vichy units.

The model presented by ICM not only perfectly reproduces the external shapes of the vehicle, but also detailed components such as the suspension, turret, and armament details. Thanks to advanced injection-molding technology, each of several dozen plastic parts features sharp details and high precision. The set does not include resin, metal, or photo-etched accessories, but the dimensions and proportions of the model allow for advanced modifications and expansion with aftermarket accessories.
