The AUF1 is a 155 mm self-propelled howitzer introduced into French Army service in the late 1970s. It has been widely used in numerous recent conflicts, including the Gulf War and missions in the Middle East and Africa. It is distinguished by its automated loading system and characteristic silhouette, making it an attractive subject for modelers interested in armored vehicles from the Cold War and contemporary eras.

The PE35563 set from Voyager Model has been precisely developed for use with the MENG TS-004 kit.
