Looks interesting, I don’t recall seeing this kit come out. The digi camo schemes look very nice.

Yes looking forward to seeing your build rodolfo

The release of this kit raised some hopes to see the French ERC 90 Sagaie coming soon after. Unfortunately TM have been pretty quiet lately and I fear they’ve definitely vanished.
Those tires need replacement. The tread isn’t nice and sharp.

Enjoy your build Rodolfo!

I don’t mean the tires are a wrong type. They are just not sharp enough. But I fear there is no other choice at the moment.

Beginning with turret: On the base I applied Vallejo/Putty in order of a best assemble. The plastic is soft with nice detail.
