The Renault AG1 car first appeared in 1907. Due to the strength and reliability of these cars from 1908 to 1914, the Renault AG1 became the most popular Parisian taxi with more than 2000 being produced.

From December fifth through the sixth, 1914, 1300 Parisian Renault AG1 taxis were used by the French Army to transport 6000 soldiers from Paris to The Battle Of The Marne, where the French troops stopped the German offensive.

As a result, the Renault Parisian taxis were nicknamed "Taxi de la Marne", and the French called them "The taxi that saved Paris".

Details of the ICM Renault Type AG1 1910 Paris Taxi :

The Renault Type AG1 1910 Paris Taxi model car kit from ICM is a fantastic example of modern computer aided tooling and the fantastic injection molding process from the Ukraine.

The ICM Renault Type AG1 1910 Paris Taxi model car kit was originally offered in 1/35th scale for military model kit builders, but by utilizing modern computer design techniques, ICM was able to scale up their 1/35th scale offering into this 1/24th scale masterpiece.

Featuring a 20 page full color instruction sheet, assembly of the Renault Type AG1 1910 Paris Taxi model car kit is easy despite the 102 part count. The building technique for this model involves a lot of parts assembly. For example, the body is molded as individual flat panels that need to be glued together to form a shell and the frame consists of separate rails and cross bars. You may want to design a jig for parts alignment.

The engine and gear box of the Renault Type AG1 1910 Paris Taxi model car kit from ICM is simple to construct, yet it is highly detailed. The simple 2 cylinder 10 Horsepower engine features an exposed flywheel with small blades. This car is equipped with a differential drive-line which was a departure from the more typical chain drive mechanism seen on other cars of this era.

As mentioned before, the body of the ICM Renault Type AG1 1910 Paris Taxi model kit is composed of many panels and bulkheads. One of the interesting features of these taxis is that the driver sat out ahead of the sealed passenger compartment, totally exposed to the elements. It is not surprising as most of the early car bodies were based around the horse and buggy coach builders creations. Therefore, it was not uncommon for the driver to be seated in the cold.

Although the Renault Type AG1 1910 Paris Taxi model car kit from ICM does not include any chrome or brass plated parts, the model kit includes a complete steering column, steering wheel, brake lever, gear selector lever, brass horn with rubber air bulb, brass gas headlights and tail lamp, driver seat hand rails, door handles and leather straps to adjust the opening height of the door panel glass.

The tires are composed of a soft rubber which is easily mounted on the kit supplied spoke wheels.

The decal sheet includes three licence plates and images for the taxi kilometre meter.

Overall, the ICM Renault Type AG1 1910 Paris Taxi model car kit is fantastic and will look great when added to the other outstanding 1/24th scale vintage figures and models currently offered by ICM.
