Hi, I'm working in the Slt-56 now. The Leopard was finished. Both are detailed with Voyager and the Slt-56 will have interior and exterior from eduard for high detail.




The Leopard 2 a6

Nice work, I have both these kits and voyager etch as well , look forward to more updates, cheers Bob.

nice, both are good kits. I'm working in the rear fenders. I will post more updates tomorrow.

That will be cool looking set. Splashes of mud are looking very cool on your leo, how did you do them?

Use mud or pigment in this case I use pigment and mix with water. Then with a big brush shake or split it I'm not sure how it writes. I gonna take few pics to show you how I did.

Rear fenders.

Adam here few pics.

Thank you , now i know how you have done it,the result you have achieved on your leo is very cool. A bit like dust/mud washed away by rain.

yep this is the message that I want to do when some one view it. When I done the faun I will not a diorama because I don't find bundeswehr figures for the faun so I just put the leo upping in or downing out in a street in some where in germany. Tomorrow I post new updates.

Hi!
Your Faun and your Leopard were looking very good. But I've some small things that were not correct. The antennas of the Leopard are always straight and not as crooked as you built them. Also the RKL, the orange signal light, is only mounted if the tank is at the barrack area or on the street. But if the tank is there, the MG is unloaded as safety precaution and the mirrors are clapped up. But the rest of your Leo looks very well. I think you should give him a little more mud in the front area and on the wheels.

Best regards

Tobias

Overall a nice project!
Keen on doing a Franziska- or Oskosh- tanktransporter myself very soon.
Awfully sorry if I do not agree with the other comments, but I think your mud splashes are totally unrealistic, little less would have been better.
The way mud and dust build up on tank is very specific to certain areas, and different with each type.
For the Leo 2, check out pics with Dutch Leo‘s, they really mess up their tanks.
But your pattern is just to "even" if I may say, having been a TC myself your effects can not explain "what happened" or "how did they get there" if you read me.
Don't want to insult or discourage you and your efforts since you are doing a fine job so far. Constructive criticism thats all.

One question on the Franziska though, it looks like it would not be advisable to
ignore the use of a good PE set on this kit ?

Cheers
Christopher

thanks for the constructive critics I will try to other proyects in the future. I try to show with the mud splashes that it in training. I saw few references that leo's jumped over the little mountains and splash in the mud water and I took the idea based on it. I upload new photos now. Thanks again.

Hi,

nice progress. I hated the Voyager set, big frustration One minor issue, the Leo 2a6 is too heavy for the trailer. The Germans updated the trailer to deal with the extra weight. If you put the Leo on the trailer, change the position of the laoding ramps, should be more vertical I believe. For the rest the changes are not really visible, most changes were made to the suspension. Tankograd's book on German panzer transporters has some nice pics.
