I have a set of 1/72-scale 3D printed Dutch Army figures (WW2).
Are there any kits of Dutch AFVs for the period in this scale?

There’s a 3D printed DAF M39 armored car made by IDAP Technology

In some ways, you’re in luck there: you have exactly three choices. One is the DAF M.39 already mentioned, the second is the Landsverk L-180, in variants known in the Dutch Army as the M.36 and M.38. This is an M.36:

And an M.38:

And the third is a Carden Loyd tankette, the Mk. IV according to some sources but Mk. VIb according to others. I don’t know enough about them to tell them apart, but here are two of the five purchased:

On a side note, the KNIL (Koninklijk Nederlandsch Indisch Leger = Royal Netherlands East Indies Army) used some specific armored vehicles as well…

Correct, but the KNIL also wore a different uniform than the Army — probably mainly because it operated entirely in the tropics, where European-weight uniforms are not a great idea, and probably partly also because it didn’t fall under the Ministry of Defence (renamed to Ministry of War in 1941) but the Ministry of the Colonies.
