Hi All,

I am building my first ever tank. As a matter of fact, my first proper model since I was a kid.

I am looking for suggestions for what I need to do next. I have put down a base coat of flat black and a coat of Olive Drab.

Any suggestions would be welcome and hopefully point me in the right direction.

Thanks again,

Gabe

Hi Gabe , pretty good work on the tank so far . I'm guessing that this is the Tamiya kit ? I've thought about doing one of these , ( I've built the Leo 2 A5 great kit ) . It is kind of tough to tell you what to do next here , it all depends on what you have in mind. If the tank has been in the field on manuvers it will have a good bit of mud / dirt built up on the suspension and hull . There will be some mud splatter to the front bow of the hull from the tracks , when ever we go to the ranges with the main gun over the back deck it gets a bit of mud splashed on the tube . Also this tank has the exaust on both sides of the hull slope , don't forget to add a little bit of soot and grime .I allways say build what you feel , so I spend a lot of time looking for pics of what I have in mind to build and I go with that. Best of luck with this tank , and looking forward to many more . Toad out

P.S. Here are a few links to pics and info on the Leo , HTH
