The AMC AMX is a two-seat GT in style and approach sports car that was produced by American Motors Corporation for the 1968 through 1970 model years

The AMX-30R (Roland) was a Cold war era French self propelled short range missile launcher based on a highly modified AMX-30 MBT hull. Each vehicle carried a 2x launchers with a total of 10 Roland Missiles, which were supplied to the launcher tubes using an autoloader mechanism.
Creator's Note: my friend Ngoc Truong supplied the suspension and turret for this build.
The original version of this model was never my favorite build. I liked the idea of the rake, but such a severe rake on such a small car just ended up looking a bit comical. I also liked the sloping shoulders, but it made the front end seem far more massive than it should. I smoothed it all out some, removed the rake, and tweaked some internal structures, and I'm much happier with it now.
Now that it's up to my own personal standards, instructions have been posted to Rebrickable!
AMX-102 Zssa
Designed as an artillery bombardment unit, the Zssa is notable for the large number of missiles in its stocky yellow frame. A Zssa without additional equipment carries a total number of 44 missiles all over its body. In addition to these missiles, the Zssa is also armed with 30mm vulcan guns, beam sabers and a scatter beam gun. The "basic" version of Zssa is only seen early in the series as Mashymre Cello uses it in his failed attempt to destroy the Argama.
Florennes airshow, 2 September 2001.
The dual version of the AMX was not often seen at airshows. MM55037 / 32-64 has special markings of 101° Gruppo. This was the Operation Conversion Unit for the AMX.
All AMXs are now at Istrana with 51° Stormo.
The AMX-30 DCA is a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun of French origin based on the chassis of the AMX-30 MBT. The vehicle is quite similar to the earlier AMX-13 DCA, with the turret being derived from the older SPAAG. Armed with 2x Hispano-Suiza 30mm cannons and equiped with a radar, they posed a potent threat to any low flying aircraft as well as infantry and light armor. While none entered French service, they were purchased by Saudi Arabia under the designation of AMX-30SA.
(creators note: this is based of a chasis given to me by the amazing Ngoc Truong)

During the early cold war period France and Germany decided to collaborating creating a new highly mobile and lightly armored MBT. However, due to splits in both political and engineering goals, the two countries split up to each pursue their own project. This resulted in the German Leopard 1 and the French AMX-30.
As mentioned earlier, the AMX-30 was lightly armored. HEAT ammunition was able to easily penetrate any plausible amount of armor during this time period, so armoring the tank to withstand anything larger than autocannon fire was seen as pointless. Instead, mobility, firepower, and a low profile were seen as more important features for a successful MBT.
Armed with a French 105mm gun (not to be confused with the British L7), the AMX-30 had a decently powerful and quite accurate gun for the time it was introduced at. Later variants such as the AMX-30B2 and BRENUS would be made to keep the tank competitive as technology continued to advance with improvements to the transmission, engine, fire control, and protection.

The GIAT Industries AMX-10P is a French 1st generation IFV, produced starting in 1973 as a direct response to the innovative Soviet BMP-1. The AMX-10 chassis proved exceptionally versatile, and acquitted itself well in numerous specialty configurations. Perhaps one of the most fearsome variants is the AMX-10 HOT, named after the Haut subsonique Optiquement Teleguide Tire d’un Tube (High Subsonic, Optical, Remote-Guided, Tube-Launched) anti-tank missiles it carries. Four missiles are mounted on twin launchers on either side of a small turret, and 20 additional missiles are stored within the troop compartment. ATGM carriers like the AMX-10 HOT were considered crucial force multipliers for NATO forces, as it greatly boosted anti-vehicular firepower at relatively low cost. The HOT in particular was a potent weapon for its era, having a range of 4 kilometers (~2.5 miles), outranging most Soviet equipment it could encounter. AMX-10s of all variants remain in limited service today.

The AMX-13/105, also known as Modèle 1987, was an upgrade and modernization for the French AMX-13 light tank upgunning it to use a 105mm gun. This powerful upgrade allowed this lightweight vehicles a much stronger punch than the original 75mm gun had offered. Further improvements to the optics as well as the addition of a laser rangefinder further enhanced lethality.
