Chimera

No vehicles existed in reality for those models, which were made by combining options together or by modifiying templates. This illustrates the creative potential of the concept.

This "Long AMR-35" was made with a modified template, provided below. It served as a testbed for the british smoke discharger.

On the left, we see a soviet GAZ-64 in French 1940 camouflage, substituting for Laffly or Latil vehicles. In the background, an early attempt at a Japanese camouflage on an AMR-35 light tank, so it could substitute for a Type 94 tankette.
