AML-90 fromTiger Model with photoetch from Voyager.

 If you want to build an AML-90, the choice is between the offering from Tiger Model or Takom. The model from Tiger is more detailed with engine, interior, tuned barrel and machine gun and a small PE fret and clear periscopes. There are also separate metal springs for the shock absorbers, while on the models from Takom they are cast in plastic. However, this is not clearly visible on the built kit. 

You also have the choice between rubber or plastic wheels. For those who want to super detail the interior there are some good walk around sites on the net. Most of the interior is included but there are no grenades for the ready racks. The fit is ok, but Milliput is needed for some minor cracks. Normally the choice is between closed or open hatches on the turret, but here the hatches are to be mounted in the open position.

 If you want the hatches closed, some minor plastic surgery is needed. In step 17 the forward shock absorber are to be glued to the main body. A pin in the circle on the body is to steer the assembly right. I thought that I had messed it up as the pin is wrongly positioned with 180 degrees, but someone on Tiger Model has not paid attention, so the pin must be cut of. 

AMAT-49 submachine gun is also included and almost fits the etched holder from Voyager.
