Believed to be the best light tank in French pre-war inventory, there were tanks for only two battalions. No record of usage of radio communication, but it was envisaged. Its armor protection was better than contemporary Renault and Hotchkiss offerings (APX turrets), but it also fielded only SA18 37mm with less than modest anti armor ability, and one Reibel machine gun. Germans captured some of those tanks and pressed them in their service even during French campaign. Later, their hulls were used for SP AT guns and SP artillery meeting Allies in the days after D-Day landings.
The kit is ICM, built OOB and it was a joy to build it.
