Beautiful! Excellent execution!
One minor complaint (if any): Compared to the antennas on the Challenger 2 the ones on the Leo look a bit too thick and overscale.
Thomas
Thanks Thomas, Yes it should be thicker even at this scale. If you check references of the Canadian Leopard 2 the 3 whip attenas should be on the thicker side. I thinks most of the expert here would agree.
Val,thanks for this hint! I will have a look on that!

Two of my favorite tanks. Can hardly believe how tiny they actually are. All of my hats, off to you sir.

Hi
Amazing work. Scratch and painting. Outstanding.
The Cally and the Leo are very great.
Everyone with it´s own eyecatcher.
Only the Base from the Leo is to small. Hope you have another one for it!
Looking forward to see a new project like this...
Cheers Daniel

Excellent work Val.
I was wondering how you managed to paint and weather the tank with the side armor. I suppose it was removed and reinstalled?
P.A.
I used to be a scale modeler like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee.

Thanks P.A.!
Side bar armour was not removed. I shoot through the armour with a low pressure spray slowly building up the camo then weathering through. It needs to be carefully placed to avoid paint building up. After this, I applied dust weathering then hand painted all the slat armour and doing weathering.
