Hello Ciro,
interesting details you have added to your tank.
(I suppose the resin add-ons are provided by Blast Models?)
Some of them I have not noticed at all whilst I have been browsing through many pics for my own Leclerc like the small handles at the front of the upper hull.
To rework the anti-slip surface is indeed a good idea as the molded one is too fine.
Due to the efforts you have been investing so far; may I suggest you to provide the indy-link tracks by Bronco?
I too purchased them as they have got sharper details and in particular open guide horns.
Will follow your project.

Hi Marco!
thank you!...sure I'll get bronco tracks,they are cheap and better than tamiya ones(that aren't so bad but they are inaccurate,as you said no open horns)
Brachets for fuel drums come from blast set,you're right!
I need to paint periscopes glasses before to join lower and upper parts of the turret,then I'll pass to other details here and there....
White.....it will be white.....Finul Opex....I've found a set from Echelon...this is my first Leclerc.
Regards
Ciro
