Following an agreement concluded in 1956 between Germany, Italy, and
France, a working group developed specifications for a standard European
tank. Germany and France worked together on the same project, and after
a series of tests, a prototype was to be handed over to each of the
countries concerned. However, in 1963, after three-way tests, the
agreement was annulled, and each country decided to build its own tank.
Germany developed the Leopard 1, and France its AMX30. The first tanks
rolled off the production line in Roanne (a state-owned industry) in
1966 and entered service the following year, gradually replacing the
American M47. The AMX30 is an assembly of cast and refined steel. Its
turret is cast in a single piece. It is powered by a 720 hp
Hispano-Suiza engine. The crew consists of four men. The driver sits in
the front left corner, while the other three crew members sit in the
turret.Further information about the product Width : 88.0 mm Length : 270.0 mm Scale : 1:35
