I shot with a platoon of AMX 30's at Graf in the late 70's. They were overall dark green. I don't recall what unit they were. DJ is right though, Piwi would probably be the best bet.

Cool, thanks guys! I'll see if I can get ahold of him.

LMAO at mzzleflash's comment! I might have to put that on it! :-D

I finished it along with 2 other model tanks and an aircraft model, and I am almost done with a space shuttle that I'm building for someone.

Don't forget to post pics of all those models!

Hi all,

I'm sad to read frostygirl and muzzleflash88's posts.

OK Frsotygirl,

Don't worry about that !

Hey Duke Maddog, What's your mail adress?
Drop me a mail if you want these pics

You can E-mail me at:

mark@deliduka.com.

Thanks! Put in the Subject Line: "IPMS French tanks" so that my wife doesn't delete it as spam!

Thanks again piwi! I personally am glad that I am finally able to build up my French Army for once! French equipment is so hard to find in 1/72 scale!

Also, I have a Panther that I painted in French colors. I'd like to see what kind of unit insignia and other markings were put on them post-war. Perhaps you can send pictures of them as well.

And to everyone else, I'll crank up the old Digital camera and see if I can get a few shots done and posted sometime this week.

Duke,

Here's a site that's full of info about French armour. Look into 1939-45 and at the bottom of that page you'll find some pics of French Panthers.

Pierre,

I'm 100% with you on this! So silly!

Thanbks for the new info about French Panthers! I'm sorry about not posting often, but I started a new job a couple weeks ago. Its seasonal construction work, building haunted mazes for a local Amusement Park that will open for the month of October. Sometimes I'm just so tired after work I find myself asleep at the workbench! I'll try to get some pics posted. I need to find a site that I can use to host, but it has to be big, because I have almost 65 photos to post. If anyone knows how to get my Yahoo Briefcase to allow photos to be seen when posted, I'd appreciate it. I've tried posting photos that are in my Yahoo briefcase/photo album, but they always turn up as red X's.

Anyway, thanks again for everyone's help! I just recently won two more awards at my local I.P.M.S meeting; one for my Russian T-55 in 1/72 scale, and the other for my 1/72 scale Russian MiG 21 MF. I'll have photos of them next month for you.

Congrats for your prizes. Glad you liked the info on the French Panthers. For your pics, try Ron's gallery. The instructions to get in are posted in a 'Sticky' note in the General Modeling Discussion. It's easy!

Thanks for the idea. I probably will contact Ron and use his site. I am also in the process of building a website myself to show my model pics. I'll let you know when it is done.

Hey, Congrats Duke!!
