Speaking of UN, any idea what is the size of the UN and Danish flag patches in real-life? Since they will be using the same colours as the large size flags and stickers on the vehicle, I'd think what the heck anyway - lets throw in the kitchen sink too!...

Again .. thank you all vor your nice comments!!
@Jason
Thank you for this important information. Do you mean this?
I completely overlooked this. I try to fix it, hope the commander will not be angry;-)
@Lawrence
Your're right ... it was agent molder ... x-file in Bosnia :-)
Oh yeah, sweet dreams about danis leos. I think at this time they wont be covered by any plastic-model-company. But with the Acc.Armour upgrade Kit is the Italieri-Kit still a good project!
Did you mean the size of these Badges?
I have scanned one of mine blue UN badges - the diameter is ca. 680 mm. It may be a standard size. The danish white-cross-badge seems to be smaller.

A set of multiple UN shoulder flashes for other UN projects would be excellent.....they are all the standard size shown by Walter.
I look forward to the UNPROFOR Leopard 1A5DK decals....I still have another one planned with a dozer blade.

Hi there!
I hate to say this, but your figure gives me the creeps (compliment of course) - it looks remarkably like Agent Molder (X Files fame...) Just Look at that grin and the squinty eyes!
Yes that IS scary Lawrence.......
Fox Mulder is in a Leopard !!
I can hear it now.....
Mulder: Will you let me drive?
Scully: I'm driving. Why do you always have to drive? Because you're the guy? Because you're the big Macho Man?
Mulder: No, I was just never sure your little feet could reach the pedals.
Cheers

Hey Walter
As I am a great Leopard fan I must say yours looks really nice. I can tell you have put a lot of work and AM sets on the model. The weathering looks nice and realistic you've done a superb job although I would have liked it more in a green black camo. I'm not really that into white models but that's a different taste.
I just have one question for you. Did you intend to build your model as accurate as the real vehicle?
Cheers Roel

Hi Walter,
Thanks for the dimensions and images! Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, was too caught up in some of the artwork I'm currently submerged head-deep in. The UN Patch is a big help! Allows me to get all the irregularities of a woven patch so that my artwork will not look "perfect", that's just perfect!
Paul, Lol! That's exactly why I like many of the TV series produced in the US - their funny and fresh dialogues - much like why I'd hate to see Grisom leave the CSI show... He has such fantastic one-liners! The rest of the CSI spin-offs are such big flops! Give-me LV team anytime! Speaking of Mulder (now I know the spelling), I wonder if the figure sculptors take inspirations from famous people... I mean, they could be a big fan of a few stars and secretly sculpts them into figures we buy unwittingly... I think there should be a dedicated Blog of some kind for such discussions and findings!
Cheers,
Lawrence

Hi Roel,
I never intend to build a model as accurate as possible.
First I find a subject, then I want to build it straight from the box, then I do some research (bad thing ;-), then I buy some things from aftermarket and after 2 years I see what I´ve got and start building ;-)
cheers

Lawrence,
thats fine. I´m looking forward for your decals ;-) (the other sets from you are really great stuff!) I still want to build some un figures. these paches-dacals would be very useful!
cheers
