Very fine result!

Thank You Guys!

Well, I was so taken by the last tracked vehicle that had to start new one immediately. And after few relatively short sessions I have arrived at this stage of ... amx-13/75 - the heavy tank for light people .







I will be putting sag on tracks after I mounting them (painted already). Plan is to make a French machine from Operation Musketeer. Track assembly took 95% of time so far, the only mundane part of any modern vehicle build.

Nice one, Marek, the AMX is a cool looking tank. In some ways the vehicle makes me think of a British Scorpion light tank but with a much bigger cannon. Looks like a good kit with nice surface detail and tracks, although the latter may have been hard work they certainly look the part IMHO.

That looks a very nice kit indeed, and seems to have gone together well!

It is going quite well. Not overly complicated and a good 'first' for somebody who, like me, had never tackled individual styrene linx in that scale before. I have done Fruils on the Scorpion but not plastic ones. Even though, the French doctrine used them a bit different than Scorpions, I think they are close cousins on the battlefield.

Good to see you building again!

I just got that same AMX. What an ugly troll of a vehicle! I love it!

Really nice work on the Chieftain. The netting on the gun looks great to me.

The AMX looks like a nice model as well. It is quite a small vehicle. I would not have thought it was so small except for the bottle of glue beside it.

Oh man! I'm sorry I missed the Chieftain on your previous page. That looks great!

Why do you keep building the same tanks that I buy? :D

Rafal, it seems I became a modelling troll . But seriously, I think we have common bucket of air and land vehicles of interest. Sometimes it feels like I am doomed (:)) to follow you in a build of particular plane or tank at some point. We buy at different times, build at different times but our sets have large common subsets .

Some lovely work there, thanks for sharing.

I always thought this was a very handsome light tank myself. I'm keen to see how this one turns out.

British heavy metal,love it,French not so heavy metal,not so much.Well tidy modelling.

Back in August last year I have started the Danish Lynx Mk.90, I got slightly disenchanted with it. It comes together ok but is nowhere near to be lynxy on any metrics. But I have finished it last week and I guess Danish Navy will not sue me; it looks like a Lynx from some safe distance.

Thanks for watching!

Looks like a Lynx to me - Very nice work!
