The gun was a slightly shortened French 105mm designed for the AMX-30 main battle tank with a big muzzle brake, yet to be fitted. Chris.

A bit more on this one, needs the body painting, Decaling and weathering.
Tools still need to be painted and attached, but nearly there.

Wow Bob,
That is one heck of a gun!
I really like the weathering of the running gear that you have done so far.
Will it be ready for the next club meeting.

Looks really impressive Bob.
Will it have some crew arranged around it when displayed?

This one is finished as well. A great kit as usual with Tamiya.

Looks very realistic Bob.
It looks realistic against that backdrop....
Not a Sherman falling off the cliff in sight....
