What going on Rick? Did you throw it at the wall? Any updates.
My cat, Gordon, almost kicked my build on the floor.

Rick,

Nice to see this build up and going again. Good work with the weathering. The tracks looks like a few hours of fun .
The shackle on the rear lifting hook look really big but you probably have checked your references.

One question to you:
Italeri have asked via their home page what future kits the community would like to see from them ( https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/152844&page=1 ). As they are about to (re-)release the Leo 1A5 I thought about the C2 MEXAS. Would it "just" be adding new sprues to the A5 kit to make it a C2 (add-on armour, stowage boxes etc.), or would they have to redo the basic kit moulds as well (hull, turret etc.)? Do one have to cut details of the original parts or is it just to swap/replace them? If they can use what they aleady have and just add the C2 details they might be interested.

Again: good to your progress again.

Cheers,
/E

The hull and turret can be used to make the C-2 MEXAS, just you will need the conversion kit for the add on armour and back bins from Maple Leaf Models when they re-open. If you have any questions about the C-2 send me a PM as I Commanded one for 7 months in the sandbox and have a first hand knowledge on the beasts and the Leo 2A6M CDN.

Hi Rick,

The actual shackles are quite large on the C2.

Rick,

I like the painting of the crew and have one question/constructive opinion.
Will there be any troops on the ground communicating with the crew? The reason for asking is that otherwise it doesn't make much sence with the commander pointing. Either they are looking at a soldier on the ground and pointing out a direction for him or they (the crew) should be looking in the direction pointed out (or at least the guy pointing should). I hope this make sence...

Cheers,
