Been awhile since I last made an armour kit. This is my Revell Leopard 2 A5 KWS with scratchbuilt improvements. Cheers!

Great looking Leo you have there Val. I really like the extra detailing you did. How did you go about getting the camo to look so nice? Really like the shading.

Val,

Very Nice! The scratch built parts really improve the detail and finish, and the paint is pretty good, too.
Just wish you had close-up pictures.

Sterling job there!

Love the detailing and the paintjob. What did you use for the mesh baskets at the rear of the turret?

Cheers!

Thanks guys!

Kerry, I used the plain ol' Blu Tack for the camo.

Jeff, I will try to take some macro if I have time.

Grillmaster, the mesh I used is just a very fine curtain thats not being used anymore.

Forgot all about this thread until I went browsing about. Thanks Zinnat! Arials are just made from a very thin stretched sprue. Its over a year since I built this and its always good to be reminded of the fun times I spent building this one.
