Panhard 178B 1-35 scale conversion set 3D print model

The Panhard 178(officially designated as Automitrailleuse de Découverte Panhard modèle 1935, 178 being the internal project number at Panhard) or Pan-Pan was an advancedFrench reconnaissance 4x4 armoured car that was designed for the French Army Cavalry units before World War II. It had a crew of four and was equipped with an effective 25 mm main armament and a 7.5 mm coaxial machine gun.

In late 1944, a new turret was designed by Fives Lille, the FL1. It had a cylindrical camembert[17] form allowing for more space to install the larger 75 mm SA 45 L/32 gun.[18] The type with the new turret, a new four cylinder engine and the EM3/R61 radio set was named Panhard 178B and taken into production at Firminy; a first order of 150 was made on 5 January 1945 and confirmed on 31 July 1945. Before actual manufacture started however, it was decided to fit the smaller 47 mm SA35 gun and a machine gun. In total 414 vehicles were manufactured, making for a grand total of Panhard 178 cars of 1143. In contradistinction to this Panhard 178B, older vehicles are sometimes designated Panhard 178A, though this designation is not contemporary. The B-version was used in France and the colonies, such as Syria,[19] Tahiti, Madagascar[17] and Vietnam.
