ICM 35572 Laffly V15T with Hotchkiss machine gun 1/35 is a highly detailed plastic model kit representing the French military vehicle Laffly V15T with its distinctive armament – the Hotchkiss machine gun. The model is made in the popular 1/35 scale, particularly valued by armor modelers for building realistic historical dioramas.

The Laffly V15T is a vehicle that was developed in 1938 and, shortly before the outbreak of World War II (1939), was introduced into the French army. The model features a system of unusual running gear for its time: additional auxiliary wheels placed at the front and under the central part of the hull significantly improved its ability to traverse difficult terrain. The originality of its design and limited production make the Laffly V15T a true legend of French WWII armament – only 100 units were produced, and their main role was to tow the 25 mm Modèle 1934 Hotchkiss anti-tank gun.

The variant of the model offered here reproduces the version equipped with the mounted Hotchkiss machine gun, which, thanks to its innovative feeding system and the characteristic massive bronze radiator, was a typical support weapon for French infantry. This armament allowed not only for supporting infantry units with ground fire, but also for repelling air attacks. Laffly vehicles with Hotchkiss machine guns were an important element of the French defense against the German offensive in the 1940 campaign.
