Joseph Bertucci shares with us his build of the Meng Models AMX-30 B in 1/35th scale. Inside for those that read French or would just like to see how his build progressed to this he has supplied a link.

By the way it is just a AMX30 EBD (no 2). EBD means engin blindé de déminage which translates into Mine Clearing Armored Vehicle. It was an improvised solution to the mine threat during GW1. Right after the war, a dedicated variant was designed. Based on a AMX30 B2 hull, it still is in service with the French engineers.

I also noticed the error EBD-2, which does not come from me and I do not know why the 2 was! This is certainly a mistake to the editor.
