Does anyone know or have blueprints of the Type 95 SPAAG/PGZ95 and know how it is used in conjunction with the HQ-7 Crotale?

At the end of 1998, the FM-90, an enhanced version of the FM-80/HongQi 7, was introduced to the public. Compared to the original system, the improvements on the FM-90 include:
- Using VLSI technology-based computer (designed by 706 Institute) to replace the original LSI technology-based S-9 computer on the HongQi 7/FM-80.
- Using digital electronic technology to replace the original analogue design, increasing the missile's abilities against active/passive jamming.
- Using a new two-waveband tracking radar to replace the original monopulse radar
- An infrared camera was added to the TV tracking system so that the optical tracking system can be used at night.
- Target information between search and firing units is transmitted via a datalink pole system similar to that fitted on the later production Thomson-CSF Crotale 4000.
- Re-designed missile warhead fusing system

Good Day All,
A new Crotale model was released Sept 2011 by the company 2D3D in 1:25 scale...out of Poland...Looks amazing:

The Korean Crotale system is designated K-SAM Pegasus. The chassis is based on K200 but not identical (more powerful engine, for example). It has some differences from Crotale NG, such as the domestic DS-20K missile by LIG Nex1 and a newly developed radar by Samsung Thales. 42% of the developmental work was done by Samsung and 58% by Thales. The radar is also used as an independent surveillance platform.

Here is a very brief introduction of Pegasus radar's development by Samsung Thales:

I believe Korea is the largest user of a Crotale variant.
Maybe its me but there are Starcraft sounds in that vid.

LIG Nex1 intends to compete in India's SR-SAM tender with Pegasus. Pegasus appears to have seen sufficient technological transformation from the French Crotale NG that we can market it independently as our own product; the missile and combat system are considered to be indigenous, and Thales' sensor technology transfer long ago now permits us to develop many of the improved electronics and radars domestically (there's also some question as to whether Thales used some Samsung electronics and radar technology in other Crotale variants). The wheeled Pegasus has been successfully developed. Pegasus was once considered to be modified for shipborne use as a VLS cold-launched short-range SAM, but now it seems to have been superseded by another separate project known as K-SAAM (Korean Surface-to-Air Anti-Missile).
As a side note the name Pegasus originates from the appearance of the missile. When it's fired it looks like a winged white horse flying through the sky. Something like that.

Type
Short range, ground launched, solid propellant, theatre defence missile system.
Development
In 1986 it was revealed that South Korea was developing a self-propelled surface-to-air missile system called Chun-Ma (Pegasus), which included an indigenously developed missile. The system is also known as Korean-SAM (K-SAM). The weapon system was developed by the Special Products Division of Daewoo Heavy Industries (now Doosan Infracore), in order to meet a South Korean Army requirement for a mobile all-weather Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) to protect its mechanised forces. Chun-Ma features a new full-tracked chassis developed by Daewoo, a Thomson-CSF (now Thales) turreted sensor system similar to that used with Crotale NG, and a missile developed by LG Precision. The electronic components and radars were developed by Samsung Electronics (now part of Thales). A report in 2004 stated that a cold launch Vertical Launch System (VLS) was being developed for future land and sea roles, but there have been no reports of any flight trials. A wheeled Transporter-Erector-Launcher vehicle (TEL) was reported to be in development in 2007, believed to be an 8 × 8 truck conversion known as Black Fox.

When did they switch to the Crotale NG?
We did not switch to Crotale NG from something else, actually. What actually happened was that we switched from our original plan to directly license-produce Crotale NG, to something more indigenous as our technological capabilities improved over time. K-SAM looks similar to Crotale NG but there have been key divergence points in the developments of the missile (exclusively developed by LG Precision, now LIG Nex1), radars and electronics (Samsung Electronics then later Samsung Thales), and the combat system (Daewoo/Doosan). Today K-SAM's components will have almost completely been localized, and the more capable K-SAAM with specialized anti-missile capabilities (active dual-band radar seeker in addition to the electro-optical guidance methods found in Crotale variants) is preparing to eclipse it.
Excelllent, thanks for the information. So are any Crotale 4000 or 5000 series still working in the Armee de Terre? I think the old model certainly looks more attractive.
