At least I found time to finish what I had started few years ago. As you suggested me I painted dozer blade and wheels once again. What I did is shown below:









For sure I need to add antennas and crew. Any suggestions?

Hey Michal,
looking good! can't comment on accuracy but the CM effects turned out great!
also like the the pigment work on the dozer blade, adds some life to the model...
for the aerials I usually use old high E strings from an electric guitar and a drop of white glue for the tip...

Cheers, Max

Nice job on the Leo!

The mud effects are really nice.


cheers

fantastic job, I like it

Very nice job on your Leopard C2.....but I see one glaring error that you may be able to fix.

The power cable for the dozer blade should not run through the driver's periscope. It should simply run to the armoured connection on the top of the glacis plate to the left of the driver's hatch....where you have angled the cable 90 degrees to move to the driver's hatch.

Other minor finishing details you might want to consider are adding tow cables, adding the mount for the maching gun mount on the commander's hatch ring, adding a rust finish to the crew heater exhaust on the right side of the hull, and adding retaining chains to the grenade discharger caps.

The weathering on the dozer blade looks very nice.

Very nice. Especially the dozer blade. What paint did you use for the overall green?

Well done, the other small thing that i picked up was the troop markings on the barrel. 2 stripes would make it 2nd troop, 3 stripes would make it 3rd trrop as you have marked it as 23B, would need another barrel stripe.

As an ex-C2 dozer commander love the work on the blade.

Hi,

Thanks for kind words and all remarks. I'll try to implement all of them as soon as possible:
1/ To add: antennas, towing cables, chains for grenade caps
2/ Change power cable for dozer blade (do I understand right: it should go behind driver's hatch and go inside on its left side?)
3/ To paint: crew heater exhaust, 3rd white strip on the barrel

Paul, I used TAMIYA NATO Green as a base colour.

Does it happen that Canadian Leopards tank crews use headphones which are not integrated with helmets? I'd like to reproduce one of them wearing cap- but I don't know if it's accurate.

Jason and Anthony- thanks again for your mails and photos

The turret crew wear the regular helmet with headsets.The new crew helmet has not been issued yet.

If you need photos send me a PM.
