I think its main gun would be close to something like an AT-4 in terms of anti-tank capability. Dunno if it has HEAT rounds or APFDS, or even anti-personnel rounds.

IIRC, this kind of light vehicle with high-caliber gun cannot fire on the move (or maybe on some kind of low-speed cruise throttle...) without making a nice backflip stunt

And it sounds logical to me that its turret has mainly a anti-personnel use (thanks to the coaxial MG), and the vehicle acts as some kind of modern StuG, with limited firing positions and accuracy.

Does someone here know his stuff about this kind of vehicle ?

I'm fairly sure the only AT round for the AML-90 will be HEAT, iirc it's a low pressure gun.

Anyone noticed that the main reference picture has a flat front left tire.

Also I assume your well aware of this but it won't hurt to mention the barrel of your WIP shot is about twice the size of the reference pictures. Although everything else looks fine especially giving its such a early shot.

Strange looking tank :/ nice start of model though

Thanks all for the feedback

Don't worry, thank you to mention it thought

Here some pictures of AML-90 in use in African armies

Like I said in the other thread, we could imagine a Western African Conventional Army with the AML-90 (like in the first pix), in Central Africa, insurgents with AML-90 (like the third pix) and in Eastern Africa, rebels with damaged AML-90 (like in the second pix)

Model by Bao. Tri 6055.
Enjoy!!!

I'm gonna check for the barrel size and the wheels. They seem too big.

Was going to say that. Other than that it looks ace.

[Wilkinson]

If the barrel is to big that can be scaled down no worries. Still looks real ace. Bao needs to learn English and get on the forums

[DankE_SPB]

will this thingie make a ninja side flip if you try to shoot at +-90 degrees turret traverse position?


looks ace!

i think you will find the gun is not overly, over powered. from what i have read its not like its a AT gun.
