Andy Moore Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 AMX-13/90 Venezuelan Army Takom 1/35 This is Takom's new AMX-13 fitted with the 90mm main gun (they also do it with the original 75mm and one fitted with SS.11 ATGM's). It's a nice little kit, but there are some fiddly bits in the construction. In particular, I didn't get on with the indi track links which are tiny, and I'd rather have seen link and length versions instead, or at least a jig to set the sag on the upper run. It's also a shame that the oscillating turret, which is the most prominent aspect of the tank, can't be used if the vinyl dust collar is fitted. There's probably no way round this, as you couldn't really have a flexible collar that would look in scale, but it would have been nice if Takom had supplied separate collars for a depressed and elevated position on the gun. The turret will work if you don't fit the collar, but you'd need to add the mounting strip where the collar attaches, as that's not included as a separate piece. Thanks for looking Andy 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAYELL Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 As usual a stunning creation, especially using the Venezuelan markings. Checked the WIP on another site totally amazed at your tecniques. Another top drawer post Cheers K 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Very nice indeed! Interesting set of markings as well - you don't see South American armour all that often. That's another thing I like about Takom's marking options, you get lesser seen schemes. Mike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeoman1942 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Amazing build as always Andy. I have just ordered the IDF version as a birthday treat for myself. Thanks for the heads up on the tracks, yours look great so they were worth the effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
