ICM 35373 - Panhard 178 AMD-35 1/35 WWII Reconnaissance Car Model

The ICM 35373 kit recreates the Panhard 178 AMD-35 in 1/35 scale, capturing the character of this notable French armoured car from World War II. Favoured for its speed and scouting role, the Panhard is rendered here with an emphasis on accurate shapes and period detail, giving modellers a satisfying assembly challenge.

Design Heritage and Scale Accuracy

The Panhard 178 combined a compact, sturdy chassis with a distinctive turret layout. This kit mirrors those hallmarks through refined moulding and well defined components, so each turret fitting and wheel detail reflects the vehicle's original engineering.

Build Level and Display Potential

At 1/35 scale this kit suits modellers wanting a detailed subject without extreme complexity. Parts require glue and careful fitting, and the completed model makes a strong display piece in any military vehicle collection.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included; recommended for enhanced realism
The kit is medium difficulty: parts are detailed and require careful trimming and gluing, making it ideal for modellers with some experience looking to refine their skills.
Period-accurate olive drab and brown mixes work well, plus subtle weathering with washes and drybrushing highlights panel lines and wear on the hull and turret.
For extra realism consider replacing small fittings with brass photo-etch or using resin stowage items, though the kit parts are accurate enough for a clean, stock build.
Yes, the 1/35 scale is ideal for dioramas. A compact reconnaissance scene with figures and terrain adds context and highlights the vehicle's role.
