ACE 72537 W-15T-CC French Tank Hunter (1/72) – Plastic Model Kit

ACE 72537 W-15T-CC French tank hunter in 1:72 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit representing a rare and highly interesting French design from the Second World War. This model replicates the W-15T-CC vehicle—a French tank destroyer based on the Laffly truck chassis, which was an important element of French military doctrine in 1939–1940.

The original W-15T-CC (full name “Chasseur de Chars”) was an improvised anti-tank vehicle used by the French Army at the beginning of World War II. It was equipped with a 47 mm SA 37 anti-tank gun mounted on the chassis of the Laffly W15 T off-road truck. Vehicles of this type were used in the French campaign of 1940, fighting against the mechanized units of the Wehrmacht. Their task was to move quickly and counter enemy armored units on various fronts in France, especially during the defense against the German invasion.

The ACE 72537 model is made from precisely molded plastic, allowing for easy assembly and a realistic appearance of the vehicle. The kit does not include glue or paints—separate modeling accessories, such as professional paints and glue, are required to complete the model. The kit does not contain extras like metal barrels or resin elements; however, the detail level of the plastic sprues is very high, enabling the creation of an authentic representation of a French military vehicle from the early years of World War II.

An excellent choice for period dioramas or as a stand-alone exhibit in a World War II armored vehicles collection.
