The tires are too shiny black, the paint is not flat enough, the sandy on some of the vehicles is the wrong shade, there is no weathering, they don't run tracks with the pads missing, road wheels don't have chunks missing from the tires! SOme of the PE has chunks out of them, don't they know how to cut the PE off?

Your models need lots of work before they look real!

I wish I could have more pictures like these for the "Weinie Bolt-Counting Know Nuthing Judges" at the model contests.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Oh! By the way the winter camo on the motorcyles looks really stupid for Brazil! How much snow do you guys get there? LOL Outside Ft Drum, NY.

Hi everybody,

Brasilian Leos I were purchased from Belgium and are fully operational. There is another batch scheduled to came from Germany.

The motocycles belong to a Policia do Exército - PE unit, and they are painted white.

We certainly do not have as much snow as you have, but on the southern states of the country we do have some on winter.

Cheers,

Jose Valls

Excellent photo's. Did the Landrovers replace the doublecab Toyota Landcruisers, or do you still have them as well. They were an awesome vehicle.
