Following the fall of France the Germans came into possession of a large number of French armoured vehicles, one of these was the FCM 36 or Char léger Modèle 1936. The FCM, was a light infantry tank that was designed for the French Army prior to World War II. It had a crew of two and was equipped with a short 37 mm main armament and a 7.5 mm coaxial machine gun. The Germans captured 37 FCM 36s and in 1943 ten of the captured FCM's were rebuilt as Marder I tank destroyers, which were employed by 21 Panzerdivision in the Battle of Normandy in 1944. Pawel.k.gos has now produced a 1/56 stl for this odd vehicle for those of you that like to explore weird and wonderful options for your army. This stl is now available from wargaming3d.
