Hey guys!
The AMX-30 is one of my favorite tanks. I was doing research to build one for Desert Storm (Operation Daguet) and I found these awesome pictures of an AMX-30 with mineroller. Does anybody make this mineroller in plastic? I think the tank is an AMX-30, can I use the Meng AMX-30B? I just received all of the Kagerou AMX books and I'm going through them, but I thought I'd ask. I have seen Oliver Carneau post a lot here and he has contributed to the book, so I was hoping to get his attention. Or if anyone has information, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The roller is the standard IDF-deigned roller that is also used by the US. It is narrower than the current one though, which has 4 rollers per side, where this one has 3 rollers per side.

You could probably take a 4-roller kit and narrow it. Many IDF M60s and Merkava kits come with the roller, as do many M1 Abrams kits.

thanks much, do you know of any pictures showing how it was mounted to the tank?

Have you seen these ?
