Historical description:
The ERC-90F1 Lynx is a wheeled armored vehicle developed at the end of the 1970s for the French military, designed for reconnaissance and fire support. The distinctive feature of this vehicle was its 90 mm cannon mounted in the GIAT Lynx turret, allowing it to engage enemy armored units. The vehicle performed excellently during numerous military operations in Africa (e.g., in Chad during Operation Épervier) and United Nations missions. It is characterized by high mobility, the ability to cross water obstacles, and ease of air transport.

Assembly difficulty level:
Recommended mainly for intermediate and advanced modelers, difficulty rating: 3/5 – the model contains many small parts and requires precision, but fits well and is clear thanks to a richly illustrated instruction manual.

We recommend this model to military enthusiasts and collectors of military equipment from the Cold War and modern conflicts. It is an excellent choice both for those building realistic battle dioramas and for lovers of armored vehicles with a rich combat history.
