Here are some pics of the last Canadian Leopard Tanks in A-Stan
The Leo 2A4 will be shipped to germany for further evaluation since it got hit by an IED or RPG ... that's why some side skirts are missing.
I took the chance to make some pics before they got shipped out a few days later.








Cheers

Great pics! Thanks for posting.

It was an IED on the 2A4M as far as I understand...there's a bit more to the story.

At least some of the C2s, 2A6Ms and Badgers are already out of Afghanistan...they were transported to Kuwait and cleaned up then flown to their next destination.

Love the weathering on that Buffel blade, would like to see someone pull that off on a model!

Hopefully PSM will come through with an ARV conversion soon and the weathering will begin!
