An exceptional model - Scania's CaRaPACE

Promodels expands its range of French Army fuel service models

CaRaPACE, an armoured tanker for hostile zones

The Extended Capacity Forward Area Petroleum Resupply Truck is a armored truck produced by Scania that tows a 22 m³ fuel tanker from Maisonneuve.
One of the particularities of this vehicle is to have an armored cab of level 2B produced by Essonne Security, making it the first French fuel truck capable of operating in hostile zones.
The CaRaPACE was first deployed, with success, in Mali as part of Operation Barkhane in 2018 and saved the lives of its crew during an EEI explosion in January 2020, the armored cab having done its job of protection.
The SEO ordered 34 units of this vehicle and after the various feedback from Mali, requested several modifications which were made on the second generation of this vehicle which is the subject of this article.

Scania's CaRaPACE tanker scale model by Promodels

Even with an image larger than the actual size of the model, the quality is still impressive.

As with the first version of this model, Promodels has gone to great lengths to reproduce all the details for which our products are renowned.
The main visual modification to the model is the change of wheels with tyres better suited to sandy terrain.
The change of wheels means that the mudguards have been removed, and we've put a lot of effort into fine-tuning the details of the centralised inflation system, which remains an interesting and very rare challenge on a model, especially at this scale.

A limited, numbered series for an exceptional model

A photo that shows the finesse of our work, the correct markings, the protective grids for the lights, the parts painted in the right colour, the details as on the real vehicle, a tyre tread that is correct to reality and, above all, don't forget that the photo is 200% bigger than the model!

It's all the little details that make the difference between a simple model and a high-end Promodels model, because for us, this quality is part of our "DNA" and is included in the creation of our models right from the start.

Promodels scale models can also be used to showcase your customers and your brands.
