Amusing Hobby 35A049 1/35 Scale France AMX-50B Heavy Tank model kit

――French tank research and development has been stagnant for a long time
due to the defeat to Germany in World War II, but when Germany
surrendered, France resumed tank development, and immediately after the
end of the war, ARL- Complete 44.
――However, this was a performance that was unfortunate to compete with the Soviet Union’s new heavy tank, the IS-3.
–When
the French Army demanded that a domestic munitions company plan a more
powerful new tank, AMX submitted a plan for the AMX M4.
――However, this tank had thin armor to meet the original requirements of the Army, and I was worried about its defensive power.
――Therefore,
the AMX-50 with reinforced armor was prototyped to reduce the weight of
the turret by installing the oscillating turret developed by FAMH.
――However,
the heavy tank category has gradually become obsolete, and the
development of the AMX-50 was discontinued before it was mass-produced.
――There are multiple prototype vehicles for the AMX-50, and the AMX-50 (B) is the final prototype vehicle with a low profile.
