The Renault UE Chenillette was a utility vehicle designed for the French army and adopted in the mid 1930s. It was never intended as a fighting vehicle, though it was armoured against small arms — it was intended as a light gun tow, and as a resupply vehicle. The cargo bin on the back could be tipped and unloaded from within, without having to expose the crew to enemy fire. Captured examples were widely used by the Germans in a variety of roles, especially in Russia.
This is a 1:100 scale model intended for 15mm gaming, but it should rescale pretty well up to 28mm scales.
I have included three cargo modules that can be printed separately and be slotted into the cargo bin, or not, as the user desires.
It may be possible to print the 1:100 scale model in FDM, but I have only printed it in resin, so I can make no guarantees there.
The STLs are available from wargaming3d.com at https://www.wargaming3d.com/product/renault-ue-chenillette/

I've now also built, and successfully test-printed, the little tracked trailer that was characteristically used with the Chenillette to expand its cargo-carrying capacity.
I've added the STL for the trailer to the zip file on wargaming3d.com, and at some stage I'll also get around to adding some cargo loads for it as well.
