In short
A 1:43 scale model of the Renault G230 Phase II Camiva FPT airfield tanker in Armée de l'Air military green, rendered in resin by Alerte for the 1991 operational period.
The Renault G-Series was introduced by Renault VI as a range of heavy cab-over trucks; the Phase II revision brought updated cab details and revised driveline options including the G230 variant, powered by a turbodiesel engine. Camiva fitted selected G230 Phase II chassis with the FPT (Fourgon Pompe Tonne) combined pump-and-tank body for airfield operations. The result was a purpose-built support vehicle used by the Armée de l'Air across multiple French air bases through the early 1990s.
The Renault G230 Phase II: A Workhorse Heavy Platform
Renault VI's G-Series established itself as a reliable backbone for both civilian and military fleet operators across France and beyond. The Phase II update refined the cab-over design with improved ergonomics and driveline options, making the chassis suitable for demanding secondary-role conversions such as the Camiva FPT tanker body.
Armée de l'Air Ground Support: The FPT in French Air Force Service
By 1991, Camiva FPT units on Renault G-chassis were standard equipment at French Air Force bases, fulfilling both airfield firefighting and fuel-water transport duties. The vehicles were finished in the Armée de l'Air's uniform military green — a specific olive-khaki shade distinct from French Army olive drab — with minimal markings, consistent with the service's approach to non-combat support vehicles. This operational period represents the Camiva FPT at the height of its active service life before the French Air Force transitioned to newer support fleets.
Alerte's 1:43 Resin Model: Niche Subject, Precise Execution
Resin construction allows the maker to capture surface detail on the Camiva FPT bodywork, pump housings, and cab markings at a level that injection-moulded diecast cannot achieve for low-volume subjects. This release represents one of very few scale models of the Renault G230 Phase II Camiva FPT tanker in any scale, making it a significant reference piece for collectors of French military support vehicles and utility trucks.
Frequently asked questions
