Hi all,
I'm looking for informations (basically pictures) for a friend modeler about the version of the AMX30 in service with the armed forces of Venezula AMX30-V.

I know there are a lot of modifications made to the basic MBT but didn't find much about it up to now except on a Spanish forum ... I don't speak Spanish but managed to get the core of the thread. Unfortunately no pictures were shown.

If anyone could help, this would be great.

Fortunately it is not for me ! The mods are huge but why not when my stash is over (got retired before, I fear :-) )

Klaus, thank you so mcuh. I was pretty sure you'll have the answer to my request.

That would be nice from you as it is very interesting to get pictures of the export variants of our national MBT for such a long while.
TIA

Ok, given the interest on it (not only from you, I got a PM requesting that) I´ll post some of the pics in a new thread.

Cheers
