Hi all,
I just posted to my site two new walkarounds of a OPFOR AMX 30 Brennus and a Bundeswehr forklift (could be useful to detail the Takom kit)





Enjoy the visit

Thanks Oliver, I'm going to do that OPFOR scheme, but I haven't decided which version AMX30 to do it on yet.

You're welcome. If you intend to do the OPFOR scheme, you need an AMX 30 B2 kit, be it Brennus or not.
The early AMX 30 has never been used by the OPFOR.

Nikos, keep in mind that this OPFOR Brennus has some ERA blocks removed as well as one side bin and the rear bin and other stuff on the turret. So check other ref pictures to build a standard tank.

Thanks Olivier, great stuff. I always liked the AMX-30, it reminds me of a M60 on steroids...
Your walk around comes right in time as I plan to build Tiger Model's offering. Any comment on that kit?

Found nothing to complain about the Tiger Model kit. Just go OOTB and enjoy.

Nothing noted by me on the kit. Dry fitting and some ahead planning will help but the kit is pretty good.

Many thanks for pointing that out Olivier.
