Why did K&C not do a French Panhard version (1 Viewer)

I always thought it was strange that they did not do a French version of this vehicle. It would have been a good add to their fields of battle armour and simply a new paint job. K&C did captured 34s and M13-40s and still did the original versions too. I am curious what the decision behind doing 2 german versions ie winter and Normandy? Anyone have any thoughts?

Aside from French doesn't sell :wink2:^&grin^&grin it would be a good model to go in the Fields of battle series as would a Sumoa which IMO really should have been made by now. A French Panhard and a Sumoa and Hotchkiss H-35 are about the only main French AFVs not done. And they would fit right in to K&C recently doing smaller AFVs like the Stuart and the BA-64. How about it Andy. You did say long ago that you would like to do a Sumoa.

I for one always purchase AFV's which were used by their country of origin...I don't like captured variants , & would have purchased the Panhard if done as a French AFV...The Char B1 sold very well , I believe the 1st version sold out so fast , Andy had to do a 2nd version repaint...
Would like to see more AFV's from other countries...Like Polish , Romanian,Hungarian & Bulgarian AFV's the 38t was widely used by these Satellite nations , so can easily be done...
