Very nice Miloslav.
But why have you replaced the well detailed barrel of the kit with the slightly less detailed one of Barrel Depot?
Nonetheless - I am really looking forward to the next stages of assembly

Milo You must be insane with the Slat armour.
Nice start buddy !

Any chance of you producing a Leopard 2 Recovery Vehicle?
Art isn't just pritty pictures. It's an expression of human rage.

Outstanding start on a great subject!

One of the serious problems in planning against Canadian doctrine is that the Canadians do not read their manuals, nor do they feel any obligations to follow their doctrine.

Lookin good Milo,
Is the slat removable or do you have to paint with the slat on? That could get interesting.
cheers

Cracking job on welding the slat armor ! It's really impressive. Keep on posting Miloslav, it's always a pleasure to have a look at your models.

I agree! That could get pretty fiddly. Probably be easier to sneak into KAF, and paint a real Leo in desert tan, and then just model that one!
Why plan when you can react?
