Hi I'm trying to time a taurus arv build (Leopard). For this project I am looking for photographs of FIXING the boxes and the engine. I have two photos of the model.

hello thank you for the pictures. I am looking for pictures of Taurus with a spare engine on the rear of the Taurus, and shipping crates. Bad photos look at this.

Hi Jurgen,

Is that the Elite kit or the PSM kit you are converting into a Bergepanzer 2A2 version? I see the stabilizer arm on the right rear hull and the circular mount on the ground next to the Taurus.

The photo you posted shows two Canadian Taurus ARVs. The boxes on the back are stowage boxes and there are no spare powerpacks being carried.

It is hard to tell from the photo but the triangular engine stand may be attached to the back deck but it does not appear that a Leopard powerpack in being carried.

Nice looking ARV. If you need help e-mail me and will send you photos. I have a good walkaround that might help with your build.

Very nice Jurgen.

So, did you scratch build the parts for the 2A2 version? Any plans of making resin copies?

hello. I have now begun to build the box. The box I built out of Styrofoam, and wood panels with stickers. Then I have attached canister.

NIce work on the stowage box. Make sure you add some hinges on the back side for the lid to open and close.

Nice tent.

I also have this one in the stash. I think it was bounced around E-bay once too many times, lots of broken parts to fix and the resin tracks are toast.

New images are now:

Here I have pasted the tent with a camouflage net Verlinden.







And that camouflage NET covered with herbs.





Here I have two pictures of the Taurus, as he was seen here in the 80s. I would show you more pictures, but I do not have the copy-right, these pictures I've purchased with others.

Hello from Germany, now I've finished the Taurus. Sorry I did not understand everything you wrote me. But I hope my model is built correctly.
