AMR 35 ZT1
Hello, we'll start the new decade with a new AMR: the AMR 35 Zt1 which was a french AFV equiped with a machinegun to provide support to mechanised infantry.
The version I made is the Zt1 with the AVIS 2 turret which is basically the version with an hotchkiss 13.2mm machine gun instead of the basic 7.5mm gun.
During the battle of France this little tank proved to be only effective aginst infantry but could not damage any armored vehicle, even armored cars. It really suffered from mechanical failures and the lack of support units for small repairs. At the end of may the vast majority of them had been lost.
Since I did the ZT3 version a while ago I thought it would be nice to do the ZT1 one by improving my old model and that's what I did. The hardest part was to rescale the thing to my other vehicles. I also had troubles with the front part and the engine compartment which are slightly inclined, tbh it's not easy to see since the side pieces covering the tracks bend too because they are held with one stud, but you can see the little gap between the normal section and the front one.
I also made a little french camoflage for it and I applied several decals around the vehicle (licence plates, roundels, company insignia...).
I hope you'll like it, if you are interested in it you can always send me a email.
