Hi guys, I saw that the Warsaw Pact forces were growing up in numbers so I want to add to NATO another entry on top of the B1 Centauro that I've already posted, a Leopard 1A2I (Italian production) that I've just finished to build. The model portraits a tank in service with the Lancieri di Novara (5°) Regiment of the Italian Cavalry in mid 80s. The model is almost OOB I just added weld seams, scratchbuilt part og the AA MG support, the tow cables and the periscopes protections. Comments/criticism as always are most welcome. Ciao

Fabio, that's a very nice clean build. Very nice indeed! I like the overall color you used. Who's and what color is it? Are the markings from the kit or AM?

Animal & Kencelot thanks for the kind words. Going back to Kencelot's questions: - the base color is Model Master's Olive Drab enamel, then I applied a coat of Hobby Color transparent matt (which slightly changes the undelying colour), then a filter wit Winsor & Newton's olive green and finally a coat of Dullcote (enamel) - the markings coming with the kit (at least for what concerns the Italian part) are a nightmare: invented plate number, poor quality, etc. so, as usual, I made my own markings with my Alps printer Ciao
