Hi All
I've been working on this project when time permits, and since i'm new to the board i thought i would post a progress shot. Working on the rear hull area and having a fun time with this stuff called photo etch. I drilled out the exhausts to give them some depth, and worked the rear tow hooks based on some very cool walk around pictures i scored from a member in the local model club hear in Victoria. Still tons of work to do.

Hi guys!
Good work for the rear hull John! I'll follow your topic because I've bought this Leopard 2. I've the set Real Model too.
I just started to build boxes of the turret. Here's my building in this french forum (I'm French, sorry for my poor english...).

You can see the boxes in the last page.
Anthony, I noticed that Miloslav has put few photos of you in the manual of his set.
So, I'm interested by your photos too!
Your photos interested me too John!

thx John!
I'll the mounting now. I prefere switch with the mounting of my panther F alternatif. Mount as many photoetched parts becomes quickly boring.
I'll follow your bench too.
