The plan in Tankette interests me. Does anyone know who used it? Was it a local Free French build or was it used by others as well? Or even how many were produced?

Thanks

Morning Alan,

http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=112&t=79794&p=1340577

See above link for photos and information I cannot find the references I thought I had in books..

IIRC it was a one off by Free French forces in North Africa. This seems to be confirmed by the input from the grandson of the gunner of La Revranche (Revenge).

Looks like a dodle of a conversion based on the Tamiya Quad with a dragon PaK 38. I did the similar one with a Soixante Quinze.

HTH

Paul,
Thanks and most helpful. I might make one anyway for my Free French - in 1/76 though!
