Hi chaps, next project is something under the Star of David  . I using the Takom AML 90 and going the Israeli way  . After a little research I found out that Israel had 28 of these vehicles in its inventory, and apparently they even knocked out a couple of T55's with them. They were in IDF service until the early 80's, after that they were probably scrapped or a few passed on to their allies. Anyway on with the build .    |

Boots, thought you would like this, it has wheels . Des, cheers ole chap . Had a couple of minutes of worry whilst joining the sussies and muzzle brake but nothing that patience didn't sort out . Ian, thanks my friend . Pete, thanks fella , tis indeed a nice little build Today's fiddlings    This is really a grand little kit that needs hardly anything changing . The only parts that I'll rework are the smoke grenade dischargers, they just don't look right  . |

This looks like a progressive build Paul, it's small but with cool looks.

Cheers Guy . It is certainly small, but there are a lot of parts in the box |

The big number of parts isn't the problem, a modeller only wishes a clearly readable manual. Man I swear I'll never build Dragon kits again. I'm glad this is a Takom kit, is this a 60's vehicle Paul ? It has Staghound looks isn't it ?

LOL Guy, I know about the Dragon kits fella . Still I shall build them in the future, but only those I have in the stash . The AML is a 60's vehicle, it was produced by Panhard up until the mid 80's, with different armaments . |

This rocks! I didn't know the Israelis had some of these. I'll have to pick up another ACE 1/72 scale kit to copy this in my scale. I'm in...
Fantastic work Paul! Keep it coming.

Cheers ole chap Yeah, I try to see what I can find as I'm trying to do as many Israeli vehicles as I can get in my scale. Lots of times I get test, but no pics to see what they look(ed) like in Israeli service. Oh i`m liking this.......always fancied doing one of these ............until i saw how big it was......that is dinky , grand job sir Yes it is. Imagine doing it in 1/72 scale like I did.  |
