Hi All


this is my current project which is taking longer then i expected due to work and illness. but here it is.
i have built the hull three times and finally happy with the shape. The turret i have built twice and again still not happy with it so far.
the sprockets took 5 attempts to get right and i feel quite good about them now.
so now down to the main build suspension is safely away now for the main work . more scratch building.

kits being robbed are:-- Armour scale Leopard 2 track.,Hobbyboss geramn leopard 2a5/a6 and Italeri Leopard1A2.

This project has been in the making for a few years and now its being built.
any comments please welcome hope you like it.
thank you

Ossie

Looking good so far!

Keep it going Ossie....very unique Leopard version.

thanks jason trouble is working from photographs i keep seeing more and more details and i see mistakes so having to draw a line and say what is is now and only i will know what is slightly wrong. other wise it will never be built.

here is the hinges done for the battery box lids now all the weld marks and the NBC pressure relief valve and intake needs to be done before tackling the complicated engine decks

hi all


just a little update . i just done the weld marks . the way i have done it is to use slaters 10 thou rod and then when they are stuck with plastic weld i then run a round file down them and it will give the marks to look like it.
now to do the engine decks.
hope you like it.

Why not just buy a Leopard model kit?

hi

this version does not look like a leopard 2 but more of a leopard 1a4/panther tank shape .
thats why . its so different .

having seen the real thing driving around in germany i just want to build it .
