Released a few years back, this kit on the pre-WWII artillery tractor is once more available from Blitz Kit.
Developed during the inter-war years, the P17 and its variants were deployed to field artillery regiments prior to the adoption of the Citroën / Unic P107. Motorized units used the P17 to tow 47mm and 25mm guns. About 1,400 units were available at the onset of WWII. During the Battle of France, its lack of speed was its Achilles heel in the fast-moving engagements with the enemy.

P17 Citroën Kégresse (35FS 1005) is offered as a full-resin kit. Choices for towed artillery are available as separate kits.

Love how odd and down-right eccentric some of those interwar year vehicles are! Glad to see it back on the scene.
