RGL Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share #34 Posted October 5, 2023 The chassis of the Amx-13/155. The instructions say the top bits go on last. Given I’m now on #4 this way works more better.

You already have the VCI, VCA, VTB & AMX 13-155 The AMX 13-75 should be easily available, they reissued it in '04 and '13 as Heller #81122, Unfortunately, the AMX 13-105 and DCA were never reissued... (there are a couple of DCA's available on US ebay right now, one Gunze AMX 13-75 (Heller 784 reissue), and one AMX 13-105) Gunze Sangyo AMX 13-75 on Australia's ebay... It's a nice collection of a rarely seen weapons system... Would be nice to have them all, the 105 & DCA are not getting any easier to find...

AMX 13-105 Heller original '75 release I know shipping from the US is insane.... But it would be nice to have an example of all 7 kits...

ccoyle Posted October 26, 2023 Share #46 Posted October 26, 2023 The AA version reminded me that I saw an M-42 Duster at Patriots Point last weekend. Sadly, like the other outdoor exhibits there, prolonged exposure to the elements has done a number on it. mtaylor, Ryland Craze, Old Collingwood and 3 others 1 5 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

Canute Posted October 26, 2023 Share #47 Posted October 26, 2023 Sad to see but pretty common, unfortunately. They do a great job in acquisition, but less work on maintaining and preserving the gear. It's a never-ending battle.

RGL Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share #49 Posted October 30, 2023 Hull pretty much done. The kit provides a set of spare barrels that on the back deck then a piece of plastic to cover them completely. The real thing has brackets on either side.
