Nice build, Anthony.
I like the worn white wash, although some of the scratches seem to long and there could be more wear around the commanders cupola. I should probably try the AK chipping fluid.
Overall, a great build. Thanks for sharing

Hi, Just enlisted in this campaign. I mostly build aircraft so this should be fun. I'm building a 1:35 Tamiya Leopard 2A6.
Here's the starting pictures


It is going to be an Out of the box build, and will try a few paint techniques along the way.

I'm in with a Tasca Luchs:

I actually started it back in mid January, I'm finally getting around to getting photos up. So far it has been a great build with Tamiya level engineering and fit. I get progress pics up later this week.
Lots of great looking work guys!
