Hello

Recently I started this kit, it's really small compared to the Lince or Gaz

Despite its faults it is built pretty well.

the started



the boat propulsion



the cargo



with the up



it don't use for the same function, but it's very small



A painting session, black is... black







Last monday, at my club session (before pizza and rosé wine), I try to glue a max of sprue...

I'll paint them like a figure..., try...

The radios



and the exterior accessories...







The machine gun machine carriage assembly has worn my patience! No top overall not too bad like ...



see you !

It's looking good so far... I think the HobbyBoss kit has a better detailed interior than the Tiger-Model.. but overall, I believe the TM kit is better (personal opinion)

Good luck with the rest of it

Here's my TM VBL.. it really is a very small kit.. masking for the cammo was not easy on it

So I'm not a specialist, but it's to erroneous forms including the front wheel arch and errors parts especially inside. HB apparently confused several versions.

I bought this box because it was cheapper than Tiger Model...

Hi Hisham

You used the Tamiya nato color? The brown is too red...

My vision of my AMX 10 RC

Yes, I use Tamiya paints.. and you're right, the brown did come out too reddish.. I need to try out some other mixes for the other French vehicles I still have.

You AMX looks really nice, by the way

Let's start with the fact that interior is for a Milan version and exterior supposed to be a 7,62...
I have to disagree with Hisham. As an ex-VBL driver I must to say that Hobbyboss model is much worst than TM in every aspect.

What I said was that the HB kit has a "better detailed interior" not "a more accurate interior".. what I meant was that the HB interior has more separate parts giving it a little better look, and margin for adding or removing details, than the molded on parts in the TM kit.

I never talk about the accuracy of any kit, simply because I'm not an expert on any of these military vehicles.. I always leave that to the experts
