Check and make sure the spell check is set correctly for your region.

A few years back when Boeing had a big update done, for some reason the update set
the Windows/Office spellchecker to French as the default. Much 'French' filled the air
as a result.

Been there, the templates for a whole raft of reports at the defence firm I worked for had certain sections formatted in French, funny at first, then just annoying.

New AMX-13 tanks announced ! .... three versions including an Israeli one

None seem to have the lowered rear idler tho & I wonder if the modernised Singaporean ones are too different to model out the box.

Interesting challenge to be built as 1/72 gunned up land cruiser.
Reactive armor added ?
Slatted armor added ?
Modern sensors & laser designators ?
Have laser main weapon ? Draw laser power fuel from armored trailer in spirit of tail wheels it has.

Woohoo!

For years we've only had the T-55s from SKIF (which are pretty bad) the sorta OK (but cheap) Trumpeter kits and the gold standard, the Tamiya T-55. I hope these updated T-55s will be up to that level of quality.

You're forgetting the appalling Lindberg & Esci kits, frank

You're right. They're as bad as the SKIF kit. Thankfully, they were both scarce (or I had been warned off) by the time I got interested in tanks.

It seems Takom are determined to reduce the value of some of my resin acquisitions...

I like Marksman!!!

Jacques Deguerre · « **Reply #166 on:** January 29, 2016, 11:17:31 AM »

I really like the Gepard. The Marksman turret Chieftain is cool too but the operational version on the T55 would be my preference.

Something tells me the neighborhood association won't like this. But screw 'em, I've got a 420mm arty piece in my yard!

Another T-54/55 pair from Takom

Along side some tracks from the AMX-13

Glad to see the T54. For such a historically significant tank, it has been sadly over looked.

Especially since it's 15 minutes of fame involved a video of an abandoned T-54 stuck on a concrete divider in Kuwait. The engine was still running. The tank to the left below may be a T-54. The one to the right is a T-55:

I got some Takom Mk-IV tracks and they're great! They're "workable" click together and (unlike many click together tracks) the results are pretty strong. I got them as a backup to the tracks on the Trumpeter ChTZ S-65 tractor, since the tracks look almost exactly alike. It took a fraction of the time to make a working set. If the AMX tracks are similar, they would be a real time saver.

I hope you lot are happy, bringing this kit to you cost me quite a bit on a resin kit...

My Marksman is arrived. I only show the Marksman-sprues:

But I will make a conversion:
Leopard 1, testvehicle

or Leopard 2, in service in Finnland:
