Next on the bench cos I'm still waiting for stuff for the abrams and cos I'm bored is a tiger model AMX 10RCR. This is a seriously cool looking vehicle and the kit is very good as well. Not much to add apart from some anti slip and a few weld seams that I can see. I've also got some figures from Djiti to go with it as well as a set of paints from Hataka which have that distinctive green and brown used by the French in their tri colour camo.

Beautiful model, easy to build. I built one in 2017 with add on armor on the skirts and used exactly the same paints.. I'm here to follow!

Great kit!!! Built most of the SEPAR version of this. I'd be interested to see if you could weave some of your magic,and pose it with the hydraulic suspension in operation???

LOL, Chris, funnily enough I was thinking about adjusting the suspension to show off the range of movement the suspension can achieve. here's some interesting pics of it in action,     I'm thinking about the first picture with the vehicle coming down a slope. Looks to be easy to do as well. The real thing as you are probably aware uses a hydropneumatic system which reminds me of my old citroen BX which had the same thing! Loved that car it was like floating on a magic carpet. Paul, gardens all done mate as is everything else around the house, I've only got modelling and cleaning our cars to keep me out of mischief at the moment! Last nights progress now and the hull is all together. I've added some weld beads to the rear which helps hide some tricky gaps in the plates using stretched sprue.

Great build! When I built my own AMX-10, I felt that Tiger Model kits resemble Tamiya's in many ways.
