After the painting was all done, I thought it looked kind of plain, so I deceided to give it a name. Not knowing much German, I used a translation website to translate "The Iron Dragon" into "Der Eisendrache". And I think the fact that I didn't get it all to fit on the front of the turret, adds to the realism of it.

Hey all! I just finished my Revell Germany 1/72 Leopard 2 A5 KWS! The assembly went well, I didn't add a couple of pieces on the rear of the turret. I replaced the grab haldles on the sides of the turret with wire. And yes, I mounted the second row of smoke launchers the wrong way, but the glue was dry. I painted it MM Acryl European Green, and hand brushed the black and dark earth. Weathered with oil wash and dirt drybrushing. Then I just got the Poly S. clear flat on it.

They are link and lenght. Indis around the drive sprockets and different sections of solid for the flat areas.
