1/35 French Modern Tank Crew No.2

Historical Context & Theme

Since the late 20th century, the French Army has continuously modernized its armored forces, with professional crews trained for global missions under NATO. This figure represents a French modern tank crewman—adapted for recent theaters like Afghanistan, Mali, or Eastern Europe—bringing authenticity to any modern combat diorama. His posture and uniform reflect the professionalism and vigilance of today’s armored operators.

Figure Details & Realism

The figure is sculpted in 1/35 scale resin with superb attention to modern tactical gear. Two head options are included—helmeted and bare-headed—capturing different moods and mission scenarios. The details of the uniform, body armor, communication headset, and posture are true to contemporary standards. The sculpting allows for fine brushwork, particularly on the vest textures, straps, and facial expression.

Diorama & Display Use

Perfect for integration into Leclerc tank dioramas, NATO-themed vehicles, or urban/mountain combat zones. Whether displayed as a tank commander observing surroundings, or as part of a maintenance or briefing scene, the figure adds a strong narrative element to modern military layouts. Use with other crew figures to depict full operations or rest moments.

Material & Customization

Crafted in high-quality resin for sharp detailing and minimal prep work. The interchangeable heads allow for scenario flexibility, and the figure’s neutral stance makes it highly adaptable—ideal for conversions or integration into larger custom scenes. Resin takes paint well and is suited for advanced weathering effects.

Who It’s For

This kit is designed for intermediate to expert modelers looking to expand their modern-era French military collection. It suits builders who enjoy realistic representation of today’s soldiers and want to create dioramas with a current or near-future theme.
