AMR 35 ZT3
The AMR 35 ZT3 was a french light self propelled gun used during WW2. It was developped on the AMR 35 ZT1 chassis and had the mission to provide mobile anti-tank capabilities to the reconnaissance groups (GRDI...).
Each group had 2 of these along with 2 AMR 35 ZT2 (which had the same role but had a 25mm gun in a turret and not in the hull).
I've already made this tank in the past but I wanted to make a complete new one, so I went back to the drawing board and this is the result ! The gun can elevate and depress and there is a hatch to fit the tank commander.

AMR 35 ZT3 était un canon autopropulsé français utilisé durant la 2GM. Il fut développé sur le chassis de l'AMR 35 ZT1 et avait la mission de conférer des capacités anti-char mobiles aux groupes de reconnaissances (GRDI...).
Chaque groupe possédait 2 de ces véhicules avec en complément 2 AMR 35 ZT2 (qui avaient le meme role mais possédaient un canon de 25mm en tourelle et non sous casemate).
J'ai déjà fait ce blindé par le passé mais je tenais à en faire un complètement nouveau, donc je suis reparti de zéro et voici le résultat ! Le canon peut s'élever et s'abaisser, il y a également une trappe pour y disposer le commandant de char.

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.
