As more and more model companies are emerging, various subjects within the military vehicles theme gets treated. More variety is offered to the customer than what was available 10 or 20 years ago. However there is still some subjects that aren’t regularly approached as often as US, Russian or Israeli vehicles for example. French AFV’s makes for a theme that is underexploited. Heller contributed to the French AFV collection by adding various kits such as the Leclerc, the VAB, the VBCI or the AMX-30 for example. Some of those kits were released by others companies like Tamiya, Meng or Hobbyboss. However there is much more to be covered. Blast models and Azimut productions are two renowned companies for making French related AFV conversions, complete kits and accessories. Azimut produced two interesting resin kits that were never touched by big companies for mass production. Those two kits are the ERC-90 Sagaie and the AMX-10 RC. These kits, which are now out of production, are old, quite expensive, rare to find and only appear sporadically on auction sites. People end up paying much more than what they are worth. There is some other companies that produce the AMX-10 RCR in other scales, such as 1/48 and 1/72 but nobody except Azimut offered (a long time ago) this vehicle in 1/35 scale. There is a demand for such a kit. The AMX-10 RC and RCR, along with the more recent SEPAR version, saw deployment in a variety of locations, including the more recent malian and afghan conflicts which makes for a plethora of dioramas possibilities. It underwent recent upgrades which will extend it’s service life and therefore merits it’s place as an available 1/35 kit. Therefore, we ask you to take into consideration our suggestion and our desire for you to take action and develop a kit that would fulfill an existing gap into the French modern AFV’s plastic models category.

I have been hearing from so many of you who are tired of scouring auction sites for a kit that should be readily available on store shelves. My own shelf feels incomplete without this piece of French armor and I am currently reaching out to a few manufacturers to see if they might finally acknowledge this gap in their catalogs.

Seeing this level of interest in the AMX-10 RCR proves that my frustration with the lack of kits is shared by so many of you. It means a lot to know that I am not the only one scouring auction sites for a model that should be on our shelves. We are finally gaining the attention needed to show manufacturers that French armor deserves a place in 1/35 scale.

I'd love to see model kits of the AMX-10RCR and ERC-90 Sagaie armored cars produced in 1/35th scale.

I agree that it would be good to have a 1/35 scale AMX-10RC, AMX-10P and the ERC-90 available in either resin or plastic. Vive le France!

I think this one would be very welcome in the community. There are a couple variants that could also be created from using some of the same moulds that would be used to create this one.
