Somewhere near Tubingen...

Were you a hitchhiker in the forest, you could have heard some heavy noise... growing louder and nearer... Good lord, you're right in the middle of an exercice from the French army! Their vehicles have just received their NATO camo pattern and now try to know if it's effective... Hmm, maybe there are some French grunts somewhere...

So, I've finished my first 6mm toys, and I must say, painting tanks at this scale is damned easy and fast. I enjoyed it immensely. Those are AMX10P infantry fighting vehicles. The first of them were deployed in 1973, and are still in use today, though they should be replaced in a few years. They can carry 8 men, and provide some support with their 20mm gun and 7.62mm co-ax machine gun. 

Imaginons que vous etes un randonneur du cote de Tubingen. Vous vous trouvez en foret qund soudain vous entendez un bruit metallique qui se rapproche... Vous etes au beau milieu d'un exercice de l'armee francaise! Leurs vehicules viennent de recevoir leur camouflage OTAN et testent son efficacite... Ce sont des AMX10P, tout juste termines, et j'ai pris beaucoup de plaisir a les peindre. Le 6mm, ca va vite. Ces vehicules sont entres en service en 1973... Ils peuvent transporter 8 hommes et fournir un support avec leur canon de 20mm et leur mitrailleuse jumelee de 7.62mm.
