The Panhard EBR was considered the successor to the Panhard 178. With over 1200 being produced and used worldwide. It differed from its previous ARV in that it used an 8-wheel suspenson as opposed to the tradtional 4-wheeled suspension normally seen beforehand. This gave the EBR much better off-road maneuverability compared to the previous models, and the middle four tires could be raised for on-road travel. It also featured the novel oscillating turret found on tanks like the AMX-13 90
The Panhard EBR was significantly faster then its predecessor, it could reach speeds of up to 100kph, which enabled it to bring its heavier firepower to bear where needed, and preform its reconnaissance role exceptionally well.
The EBR was initially armed with a 75mm FL-10 cannon. and was later upgraded to a 90mm FL-11. It also sported up to as many as 4 MG's at any one time, giving it exceptional anti-personnel capabilities as well as anti-armor.
The model is from Hobby Boss - No. 82489. Made from box without any extras. Painted with acrylics paints and pigments from AK Interactive.
