Is this vehicle post Vietnam? If so, where has it been used and by what countries?

I just want to know what possible diorama settings there are.

The development of the MECAR gun itself started in 1974 so it could only have
been used in conflicts some years later.

So far I've only been able to find that Portugal currently uses V-150's with the 90mm gun.

EDIT: the above photo looks like the 90mm Cockrill gun not the Mecar gun....I think....

I'll keep looking...

HIsham -
I posted the same question yesterday on the Warwheels forum....... I have searched and came up blank on users. Mid East, Eastern Europe, South America?

I ordered one from Lucky Model..... can't wait to get it tomorrow or Wednesday.
