Those pesky little AML's sure were around in a lot of places visited during the mid, and all the way through, the end of the 70' and early 80's. Wishing I had a camera during some of those missions, I surely cannot recall the markings of the AML's that sat around the perimeter of the airport in Dakar during this time frame. With this decal set however, I surely can add a Senegalese/French marked AML to the collection.

With a bit of luck Max Decals will have a set for Irish vehicles sometime soon. I know they were looking into it, so fingers crossed.

The Sand/brown Spanish 2A4s look very nice, but I can't find any original images of this scheme anywhere. Can anyone advise?

Hello, I think is a Leopardo of the Spanish army, "compañía enemiga" you can see photos in the Facebook group "carros de combate europeos de los ejércitos de España"

As I've said before, companies that offer aftermarket decals sheets like these are a god-send to those of us that want to build and finish something a wee bit off the wall. Great to individualize!

For which time period are the AML-60 markings?
