This is my recently finished project, the French AMX-10 rcr Tank Destroyer in 1/35, kit from Tiger Model.
The kit comes with good details, but a bit on the soft side, all in all, I'm happy with what it turns out/
Hope you enjoy.

Looks good indeed. The green disc with 21 marking should be on the right side only.

By the way, the AMX 10 RCR is not a tank destroyer despite what states Tiger Model on the box. It is an armored reconnaissance vehicle.

Have not considered any of the AMX variants till I saw this. Very impressive. Great finish and weathering.

You're welcome.
Did you use the kit tires or replacement resin wheels?

I built it out of the box, with zero aftermarket items.

Really outstanding model! Love the painting and weathering. Even more impressive is that it looks like it does completely out of the box. We need more of these kinds of builds to show what one can do without spending a huge amount beyond the basic model itself...IF you have the talent and skill to paint it like this one!

Tiger Model seems to get their stuff right...

Thanks for the answer. This is great as I have the kit myself and do not really want to spend extra money on it.

Tiger Model have some valuable sources as far as French stuff is concerned.
