A very obscure french Tank prototype dated from 1940, suposedly a three man light Tank armed with a 47 mm SA35 canon. Only a single sketch survived to this day.

Thanks to the lack of details on the original sketch, i was able to take a lot of liberties with it, without straying too far away from it.

Backstory (fictional)

The AMX-39 Prototype, which suffered from engine problems, was not presented as a prototype until October 1940, the Renault DAC-1 had been presented to the committee a month earlier.
Produced by Renault, the DAC-1 is an elegant 16 ton tank protected up to 60mm with a 230hp engine and had a two-seater turret with a 47mm SA 1939 cannon and a 7.5mm MAC-34 machine gun.
Two prototypes were evaluated jointly between January and March 1941 without a decision on mass production being made until late 1941.
