Y'all have more selections of French equipment in 1/35 plastic than we do in Braille Scale. We only have a very small handful of options in Braille Scale. I know of the Leclerc from RoG, the 4x4 VAB by Heller Char Bis from Trumpeter and R-35 from S Model. Ace is set to release the Panhard VBL. Count your blessings
Cheers
