1/35 ’40 – French Laffly Crew Set

Historical Context & Theme

The Laffly series of French military vehicles—such as the S20TL and V15T—were essential to troop transport, artillery towing, and reconnaissance roles during the early stages of WWII, particularly in the 1940 Battle of France. This crew set captures the realism and atmosphere of that chaotic period when French forces fought valiantly against the advancing German army.

These figures reflect moments of duty, coordination, or rest, bringing a strong sense of narrative to any diorama featuring French light vehicles.

Figure Details & Realism

This set includes three 1/35 scale resin figures, each sculpted in a different posture: sitting, standing, or leaning. The details on their M1938 uniforms, Adrian helmets, field gear, and facial expressions are sharply rendered, allowing painters to emphasize the character and fatigue of French crewmen on the move or in standby.

Designed for high visual impact, the sculpt includes refined folds in clothing, texture of boots and jackets, and subtle differences in stance and equipment, offering dynamic realism to your builds.

Diorama & Display Use

Ideal for pairing with French WWII softskins such as the Laffly S20 or similar vehicles. Whether staged in a halted convoy, roadside inspection, or loading scene, the figures help convey realism and storytelling. They are also well-suited for use alongside artillery pieces or infantry displays.

Material & Customization

These miniatures are cast in high-quality resin with crisp detail and minimal cleanup required. Their modularity allows hobbyists to easily integrate them into different French Army dioramas or adjust arm positions and accessories to create unique setups.

Who It’s For

Recommended for intermediate to advanced modelers passionate about WWII history, especially those focusing on lesser-represented forces such as the 1940 French Army. A valuable addition for collectors looking to enrich their diorama narratives or add realism to vehicle-focused scenes.
