Does anyone know any kits of French WW2 armor (or German conversions of French vehicles)?
The only kits I know are:

Heller - Somua-tank
MGM - 2 Lorraine versions
Mirage - FT17 series

Thats pretty disappointing since there were quite a lot of interesting vehicles. Does anyone any other kits of that subject?
Cheers,

RPM makes many versions of the Panhard armored car. I've got one of the French versions, but they make plenty of German converted ones as well.
