About product

Lorraine 38L VBCP (1:35, RPM)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the French Lorraine 38L VBCP tracked armored personnel carrier in 1:35 scale from RPM. The model captures the small tracked vehicle intended to carry an infantry squad into battle under the protection of armor. The box contains parts for building the hull, the tracked chassis and the towed armored trailer; check the exact variant and the decal scheme against the manufacturer's part number for this item.

The real subject

The Lorraine 38L was originally created as a tracked supply tractor for the French army. The VBCP version served as an infantry armored personnel carrier: it carried soldiers in the body of the vehicle and in a towed armored trailer and gave them protection while moving up to the battlefield. After the defeat of France in 1940 the German army took over and went on using some of the captured vehicles, and it used the chassis for a number of conversions as well.

Building and painting tips

The model contains small parts and a tracked running gear, which you should assemble and paint before finishing the hull. Glue the parts with thin cement for plastic and cut them off carefully. French vehicles wore multi-color camouflage, while captured examples wore German shades; after the base color and the varnish, bring out the details with a wash and add dust and mud pigments on the tracks and the chassis.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of French armor of the Second World War
  • More experienced modelers with a taste for smaller tracked vehicles
  • Anyone interested in the equipment of the 1940 campaign and in captured machines
  • Builders of dioramas with a less usual subject

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
