Product Description
- In the 1930s, Renault developed the AMR, an armored reconnaissance vehicle for the French cavalry, and adopted it as the AMR33 in 1933.
- Renault then developed and adopted the AMR35 as an expanded model.
- The AMR35 had a top speed of 60 km and was designed to be highly maneuverable, with horizontal rubber springs in the suspension.
- A command tank with two radios for the company commander was also required.
- To avoid attracting attention, it was fitted with a radio compartment that looked like a rotating turret, but was actually fixed to the hull.
- The front of the turret had a gunport for an FM mle 1924/29 light machine gun.
- Due to delays in developing the radio specifications, production of the first vehicles only began on 14 June 1938.
- The first two used two ER29 radio sets, the remaining ten used a combination of ER29 and ER26 ter, following a decision taken in 1936.
- In the case of the ER26 ter, efforts at inconspicuousness were undermined by the large, highly visible frame antenna mounted on top of the [turret].
- Comes with a booklet (in Polish) about the actual vehicle and the Battle of Poland, and is packed with photos so you can enjoy it even if you can't read.
- Two types of radios are installed, so a rod antenna and a frame antenna are equipped.
