Hi all,
here is my rendition of the Canadian C2 with the Mexas armor package as deployed in Afghanistan.

















Olivier

Looking great! Lucky you to get your hands on one of MLMs conversions. Just needs a bunch of water boxes and other stowage and it'll be complete!

Mark W

awesome stuff Olivier

Hey Olivier,
Nice one, propably one of your best models yet (even a little better than the Ariete if you ask me)!
nice subtle color changes in the dusty areas, dusty scratches (often missing on models) as well as that 'solid'-looking base color. looks pretty darn close to the real deal. BTW I thought MLM had closed down, did you have that kit in the stash or where did you get it from?

Cheers, Max

Thanks for the comments.
First I'd like to mention the invaluable help of some Canadian members (namely Jason and Anthony) in this project. I forgot them in my initial post.

Max, to my knowledge MLM are not closed down but their site is down and the owner is suppose to come back in the business one day or another.
I got the conversions from Violetrock, a Armorama fellow member.

Olivier

Argh, I've asked so many people for this conversion but could not find it. The vehicle looks great!

Olivier

Great job, this beast is modeled after my troop officer's Panzer, call sign 12, 2nd troop, A Squadron , Lord Strathcona's Horse (Royal Canadians) ealry summer 2007.

Cheers

Anthony

MLM is still planning to re open, once time can be commited to get everything up and running.......

Yup !!!

Built yourself a very nice Leo !
Have to agree with Max .... You are getting better all the time.
Besides ..... seems your good for a surprise I honestly didn't expect this " Topic" from you !
Well done inded

Cheers
Christopher

Nice job, well done!


cheers

Surprise ? No, it's modern, not frequently seen, not a shake and bake kit so it had all its place in my collection

Olivier

Im trying to build my first leopard c2 but i want to do it with the MEXAS armor, this will be my 3rd MBT build

I would like to know where i could find a conversion kit?

thanx

Currently Maple Leaf Models is the only available conversion and they are closed. there were rumors that they would reopen but so far they have not. I read somewhere that another company was planning one but I don't know anything about it

Oliver- that is a fantastic looking Leo you built! Great job!!

I am waiting that company too, I hope it will be soon. I also red somewhere here in armorama about it..

well,that was timely! Thanks Jason

Helllo Olivier,

this must be years ago, when I sold you the conversions.
Nice to see the finnished kit. Looks great!

Thomas

As you said it Thomas, it was years ago and the conversion stayed in my stash quite a long time before I find the courage to start it.
