Has anyone seen the new FB posts from Takom?

Yes, I'm especially interested in this one:



I'm thinking it would look good in an Irish scheme, but many other counties used it as well.

I'm hoping to see the AML-60 available as a Portuguese vehicle in Angola.

This one looks awesome.

not my niche, but I can hear people saying "here take my wallet!"

And this (but I'm biased ;-) )



T-55 RmSH tracks

Finally a t55 based marksman and an aml 90 now I can trash that old azimute dog of an aml 90

Nothing really new here. Just a combination of their existing 260V truck (with fifth wheel instead of cargo box), the trailer from their previous Kraz 6446 tank transporter and their T-55. Still a combination that is only used by the Ukraine I believe.

And only 7 Finnish T-55 Marksman ever built. I hope they've provided the right engine deck parts. They were built on 2nd-hand ex-Czech tanks, not the original Russian batch.

Question: can they use their Leopard hull to transplant the Marksman turret as the Finns did?

AMLs is a good move. Long overdue for injection plastic. You can be sure that Takom will maximise the moulds with variants.

Nope, as the Finns put the Marksman turrets onto Leopard 2 hulls, not Leopard 1 hulls.

YES!!!

A AML-90, but a two in one option?

What version where there ?

Anyway happy happy joy joy!!

Sam.

Yaaaaaaaaay!

Finally an injection molded AML! And two of them!

That Marksman looks sharp too, and the RMSH tracks!
I see poorness in my future.

I guess this is the IDF version.

'Bout damn time!! I've got the Azimut 1/35 resin kit of the AML 90, and its a decent kit, but modified a bit with a personal touch...and ready for paint. I'll be adding a few of these Takom cuties to the stash, however.

The AML 90/60 has been around for over 5 decades, action in over 50 countries on 5 continents. I've been on at least 3 continents carrying AML's to waiting parties for deployment (mostly Africa). I posted those countries somewhere on this site

Tons of photos of the AML are out there, for the possibilities of picking the country (insert decals of choice), and applying the massive variations of camouflage, makes this kit a gold mine for Takom.

Seems Takom actually reads these blogs to see what the modeler wants! Kudos if they are doing just that.

I guess the two versions are Argentine and IDF.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm...not so fast on trashing that Azimut kit!! I've got proof of lipstick on a pig!

Not so keen on the 90 but the AML 60 looks cool, like a Ferret Mk 2 on steroids

You're right about the one on the boxart. What I meant is that the other option will be IDF with different parts for the IDF usual add-ons, not simply a different color scheme.
The "Argentine" version will be correct for other countries OOTB, considering Takom will provide a large set of markings.

Olivier

Yup, definitely going for the AML 60 Never heard of an armoured car with a mortar as the main armament before
