AMX-30 and AMX AUF1
One of the boxes that I have bought was the Durand’s Devils starter for the French Army which contains two Gazelle Helicopters and 3 AMX-30/AMX AUF1 kits. I decided to take care of the armour first and so I have built the tanks and the artillery. I did make one mistake here. I did not glue the magnets under the hull and when I glued them on top of it the space between the turret and the hull was too big and it looked as if the turrets were hoovering. No worries, I used some glue activator and took of the magnets. Learn from one’s mistakes 🙂
Anyway the AMX-30 tank was first delivered to the French Army in 1966. It was armed with a 105 mm gun. The self-propelled howitzer is armed with a 155 mm gun. The problem with the AMX-30 design was the transmission. The AMX-30 saw combat during the Gulf War.
These are really sharp, you’ve done a great job and it’s nice to see the French models
Thanks @ands
