thanks for the replies guys, still waiting to see if anyone else in the U.K has one, they are a great looking round, the concept is interesting but it must have been an expensive round to produce
 
Three variation shots of mine.

Hello,

I know three versions of the French 105 Heat (OCC : obus à charge creuse), model 1961, model F1 and model F2.

Are these different versions of the shell or different French guns? The 105mm F1 gun uses ammo compatible with the UK/NATO L7, while the MECA F2 gun uses a shorter cartridge case and is fitted only to the AMX-10 vehicle.
 
I think in war and peace show there was one for sale ....
I and sold some. and I have one in my collection ...
