Thanks John,
That should be plenty of time although I'm still looking for 2 parts.
I'll figure it out. After all, it's just plastic.

Last shots before priming. Some scratch builded details added to the turret, like the IR searchlight cable and the rain gutter at the rear.

That Leopard is looking good. I wonder why they installed a ran gutter around the turret, on a tank that can ford under water? Just a thought but great job.

Paint job and decals complete, I used the color modulation technique a little on the hull and turret. Tracks and tow cables are painting seperately.

It's time for chips, wash and weathering.

Finally, Italian Army Leopard 1A2 complete. Chipping and weathering went well, but tracks are huge disaster, I will never use kit provided vinyl tracks again..

Anyway, I think the result is good.

Wow, awesome weathering job cagkancakir. Fantastic. If you threw a back drop behind that you could sell it as real!
