Hi all
I've posted to my site 250 pictures of the AMx 30 based engineer variant (EBG).



Enjoy the visit.

Thank you Olivier!
Very useful when I get around to building Azimuts resin set.

There is no Azimut kit of the engineer variant to my knowledge. However the ARV (AMX 30D) does exist and I have some useful pics to fix some mistakes made by Azimut.

Correct. It says AMX-30 D (for Dépanneur) on the box, Azimut 35193.






How big are the major differences between the D and the EBG?
Maybe it could be possible as a scratch project (unless a Chinese manufacturer does it first, I can dream can't I ...)

The 30D would be the most appropriate base but still need a lot of work.
The EBG has a kind of "turret", the working arm is different from the 30D crane. You'll need to scratch the engineer tools. And I'm not sure that the front blade is the same.

Thanks! I'll just have to build the rest of the stash and hope that someone tries to make more money out of existing molds
The AMX-30 chassis was used for many purposes ...
