sounds good. There's some pics floating around of the Evolution package for the 2A4s. I have the Hobby Boss kit I'm going to fully detail that and maybe add some of my own designed armor.

Some great technology being used on the IBD Evolution version.

Thanks Jason I wanted to post them but I can't figure out how to post pics in the forums on this site. I'll get it soon enough. When I finish my next build I'll give it another go. I have a new Nikon D60 so I'm stocked to take some pics.

Hey no prob Chris....I find the easiest way to post images here is to load them on a free Photobucket account....and then just copy and paste the image link between the [img] thingys.

Yeah I'll try that method. next time round. All I could do for my leopard is link it to my gallery.

Oh by the way my build I'm doing is something you suggested its a BATUS Challenger. I could'ent resist the Tamiya kit is so good and I have the Tankograd BATUS book. I ditched the Trumpeter kit and picked the good stuff from the AA kit its working out very clean. I'll have prepaint pics soon.

That is the Swiss Panzer 87 WE.....lots of nice upgrades throughout the entire tank to the armour, electronics, fire control system, sights, stowage, RWS, and grenade dischargers.

It looks even better with Barracuda camouflage mats on it.

Looks like that is a doable conversion. Has anyone modeled it.

Speaking of Barracuda camouflage. Has anyone used that new 1/35th scale stuff yet by Echelon? Is it easy to work with?

Trevor,

I have a couple of sets of the Echelon camouflage netting decals....it will be very interesting to use....but I have a couple of other projects to tackle first.

No, it was a special pre-order purchase.

I am sure they will announce when they are in stock.
