French Renault YS command tank

Description

The FTF127 – Renault YS Command Tank is a 1/72 scale plastic model kit depicting the French Renault YS command vehicle, a specialist command and observation tank developed in the late 1930s. Built on the AMR 35 Renault chassis, the YS was fitted with radio and observation equipment to coordinate armoured units in the field prior to World War II.

Kit contents

• Injection-moulded plastic parts for the Renault YS command tank in 1/72 scale.
• Detailed components for bodywork and model-specific features.
• Decal options offering varied markings (depending on release). (Glue, paints and modelling tools not included.)

The YS version was outfitted with radio communications gear and observation tools, making it valuable for tactical coordination. Although few examples were produced before the Battle of France (1940), it remains a unique and historically intriguing subject for modelers and history enthusiasts alike.

Once built and painted, this kit makes a fine addition to any collection of interwar and early WWII French armour. It fits well into 1/72 scale diorama scenes representing command posts, armored formations, or tactical rear areas during the 1939-1940 campaign.

Don’t miss this distinctive model! A great addition for fans of French military vehicles and small-scale history displays.
