Not much to say, Hobby boss 1:35 model bought for 15e, very cheap. Used Humbrol and Revell colours. I like it very much, and I hope you do to. Share your thoughts with me.










Best regards!

Hi Stefan
Looks really nice. You've done a great job on that hard edged camouflage paint. Looking forward to see more.
Regards
Jacob

May I ask what specific colors you are using? The camo looks great! I'm building Tamiya's 2A6, but like the look of yours much better.

Dear Stefan, your model looks great. I like the colors very much. Before you continue, you should correct one BIG mistake. The APU box at the right hand hull rear is not correct. That's a problem of the Hobby Boss building instruction. They suggest to add this part. Instead only the Danish Leopard 2A5 have this APU, whereas the Swedish Strv.122 do not have this at all. I know that the removal of the parts is not easy at all, because you need to replace it all by the original Leopard parts, but you need to do that to have a correct Strv.122.

Best regards
Stephan

@ Stephan: Thank you for advice, however I will finish this one OOB...

Here is some progress. I would have done it earlier but i was on vacation and stuff. All i have done for now is dot filter, normal filter and some wash, all with AK products. Next is gloss coat decals and then again gloss coat. After that, i will see what I will do next.








Your comments are wanted as always!

Best regards from Serbia!

Very attractive Leopard2.
What is your source for the camo scheme?
What about unit markings?

@ Jim Starling: I am using the stuff that goes with the model, nothing more specific. There are very little decals for it, I'm not even sure what unit is that...

Hi guys, my Leopard is almost finished, he is at, lets say, 95%. I still need to put mashine gun, paint the scopes, and cover some minor mistakes But this is pretty much it. Anything you would like to say, please do, i am eager for comments.



















Best regards!
