Hi all
for the Tank Destroyer campaign I built the Takom AMX 13 SS11 model. I've just uploaded to my site a full article about the build and the painting.
I modified the kit a bit to be accurate as Takom made some mistakes in the various versions of this tank. I replaced the kit tracks by the Takom tracks with rubber pads which are more appropriate.
Here are some pictures of the model complete.

very nice - I built the Tamiya version - wanted to convert to a Singapore service one (my intention when ordering it) but there were too many changes to bring it to the current version - it sits waiting for paint. I also just visited your webpage - very nice work... thanks for sharing

Thanks for the comments.
Ted I'd love see your Singapore one. The Takom SS11 model would be a better base than the Tamiya one to make a AMX 13 SG, at least the original one.
