AMX-10 RCR
Bon 14 Juillet tardif! Didn't get this out in time for Bastille Day, but it got here.
The AMX-10 RC was introduced to the French army in the early 1980s. The RC stands for "roues canon (wheeled cannon)."
The RCR resulted from a retrofitting program in the early 2000s (hence the last R for "renovated").
In 2023 France donated about 40 RCRs to fight in Ukraine, where they were not particularly successful because they were employed as MBTs rather than recon platforms.
As a commission, this was my first 1:45 build. I might dip into 1:45 a little in the future, but I plan to stick with 1:48 mostly.
