Meng 1/35 French Main Battle Tank AMX-30B
Re: Meng 1/35 French Main Battle Tank AMX-30B
I found the image on the Tanks Encyclopedia page- and holding the mouse over the image this caption pops up- "Turretless chassis in repair, Bosnia"...but it doesn't say what variant it is....you might definitely be right....I'll look through the two books I have up through the B2...but the rear end of this one certainly seems to match what I see on the model....but there's not much to go by is there?

Finished the initial painting of the NATO scheme...going to fade it a bit and then add some select few decals...and then take my time on weathering

Looks mighty nice.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Now, that is what I call some progress! Seems you are on the finishing line here!

Thanks everyone- used a mix of putty and tape for masking...seemed to go alright I guess

Thank you!
Nearing the middle phase of weathering...so far did some oil streaking and some powders...
Having some track issues- meaning mainly that the indies keep coming apart in various places...not a fan so much...but I figure I should probably finish everything else first and only fix things once...
