ERC-90 Sagaie Armoured Car (France)

The ERC 90 Sagaie is a 6×6 light armoured vehicle developed and manufactured from 1975 by the French Company Panhard. The company’s AML 90 (see separate design available on this site)had done well on the world’s markets, and demonstrated its capability in various African and other conflicts. On the basis of evaluation and the experience gained in all of these conflicts, and of the new requirements for wheeled armoured vehicles, Panhard felt it opportune to build a totally new combat vehicle. The French Army evaluated the ERC 90 F4 Sagaie between 1978-80, initially rejecting it in favour of the AMX-10RC (separate design available on this site), but accepted the vehicle in December 1980 although requiring further trials, including hot weather trials in Djibouti in 1982. Panhard defines the ERC 90 Sagaie as an armoured reconnaissance and anti-tank vehicle, with an accented capability to engage in combat with the vehicles of mechanized units and effect patrols and raids behind the enemy lines. It is lightly armoured, but with a powerful gun.

The resin versions are provided in both hollow and solid versions (the turret is common with the fdm version, and is in that file). Two LMGs are provided to drop into a slot in the turret, but these can be challenging to print on fdm technology.
