Hi all,
I just posted on my site a series of pics of the AMX 30 Brennus with the special camo of the French Urban Warfare Training Center.



Enjoy the visit

I had never seen this camouflage before. That would look awesome on the Tiger models kit.

Is there a specific pattern for applying the camouflage?

Thank you for sharing the photos.

You're welcome.
The pattern is supposed to be the same for all tanks. I'll check though.

Now that is cool. But to make it truly urban camo it needs graffiti.

Yes there seems to be one pattern, but it is not always painted in absolutely the same way and thus slight variations can be seen :

T(h)anks Olivier, really great pictures, clear, details, show all the intricate little details. Very helpfull!

I see the drive wheels have a reinforced spine, the tiger model had just rounded off "spokes". Guess these are a newer version.

Merci pour le photos!

The Brennus version AMX-30 looks absolutely Bad-Ass! Building one of these will be a must for me.

I've been thinking about buying the 1/35 AMX30 Brennus- Now I KNOW that I will be! I LIKE that camo scheme!

Thank You, Olivier!

Give it a couple of months and Vallejo or Ammo by Mig will likely have specific sets for FORAD/OPFOR colours.

Wow, that totally looks cool. I wasn't thinking about this tank seriously but after your nice photos I think I just changed my mind and will get one to build.

Also, your website is great source of information Oliver. Thank you for all you work and sharing it with us.
