Like I said, while the desert is still drying I will start something else.. can't work on the KMAR vehicles because I am at home with a touch of flue, and those kits are at my girlfriends house.. I am not allowed to go over there untill my nose is clean again And there is a group build on a different site that I am participating in, I have this oldie in my stash, alass it is one of the original kits and not the version with the Cyprian decals....... I remember my AMX 13-75 with those lovely tracks... they are in this box too..

It is actually very good, hardly any cleaning up to do, great fit.. only thing wrong.. the strange French logic of placing parts on the sprues.. Sprues are numbered, but that is not used in the instructions, only a part number.. and you would think partnumers on a sprue would be consecutive... nope.. 1-10 is on the same sprue as 50-69 or something like that.. 11-20 toghether with 85 - 125... searching for parts is taking most of the time.. still, nice!!

Excellent choice, Bert! Yeah, Monogram used to mix up the part numbers on the sprues. Like, "Where's Waldo?"

The devil is in the detail as they say and makes a world of difference to the final look
