A plane this small must have been picked up from a flee market Nice start here Murdo. Gr, Marcel

Looks like you made a very good start on this kit. I still have this one in my stash as well but never got to building it. Gr, Marcel

The has been an old company Gum Ka that had the AMX-30 tracks in plastic but these have been out of sale for a long time. The metal Fruil tracks are of the similar style tracks which as far as I know are the old style tracks. The Diehl 234 tracks with the rectangular track pads are the ones used on later versions of the AMX-30 family of vehicles. Phebus Creations from France lists these new type tracks. (set 35VM011) This is a photo from a friends webpage: Hope this helps, Marcel

Nige, You're making some impressive progress here. Would love to see it in real life again someday so I hope I can make it to Perth again next year always a nice trip. Gr, Marcel

Hi Malc, It looks like I have to visit this forum more often or I miss your work. This Foden looks looks great, I really like the difference in paint job. Gr, Marcel

I might consider the trip again next year but will keep that stuff you call delicacy out of my way. You know what, maybe you come to your senses and use the Euro by then so I don't have to use that funny money anymore
