The Takom 2077 French Light Armoured Car AML-90 model is a faithful replica of the French light armoured car AML-90, made in the popular 1/35 scale. The Takom brand is known for its precisely designed model kits, and in this case guarantees high-quality details and excellent fit of parts, which translates to satisfaction during both assembly and in the final result.

AML-90 is a French light 4x4 armoured car developed by Panhard in the 1950s. It is a multi-role vehicle, distinguished by its light weight, high mobility, and armament in the form of a 90 mm cannon. The AML-90 was used primarily by the French armed forces, but was also exported to over 30 countries around the world, including South Africa, USA, Mexico, UAE, Jordan, Argentina, and Morocco. It participated in numerous armed conflicts from the 1960s until the early 21st century, such as the French colonial wars, Middle Eastern wars, African conflicts, and the Iran-Iraq wars.

The Takom model from the French Light Armoured Car AML-90 series belongs to the category of plastic model kits. The set includes precisely cast parts made of high-quality plastic, photo-etched details (metal elements that enable the reproduction of the finest features), as well as a clear, full-color assembly instruction manual and decals that allow you to recreate authentic vehicle markings. The kit does not include glue or paints – these must be purchased separately.
