Recycling AMX13 (Heller and in the real life)


I have in my stack of boxes an old Heller amx13 … frankly I didn’t know how to use it … then I saw how the Peruvians used it …

This will be interesting :smiley:
Something with same name as a music instrument?

Hello Smolensk,

You might find a recent AMX-13 conversion by Venezuela interesting, too. It has six (6) gun barrels! It reminds one of the old M50 Ontos.

I will look forward to what you are doing,

Respectfully,
Allen

@Smolensk : which version did you choose ?

Hi

I will make the comments this time

The model is old, light years away from the new productions, it lacks details, it is fragile and it is impossible to align the wheels, the part that was saved is inferior to the part that was built to new the tracks went where they wanted, the headlight grills became two pieces of Swiss watchmaking however…

…Still, I had a lot of fun!

Happy modelling to all
May the cyanoacrylate be with you
