The Revolution looks like a beautiful tank. Aren't the anti-slip patches on the tank actually large textured stickers? If so, HB molded them about half an inch thick. That seems a bit excessive. That's not a bash, just an observation.

Regards,

Eric

The kit is very good, the anti slip patches are molded on the vehicle.

Nice to know it builds well Tobias, those patches do look a little thick, I wonder how Trumpeters kit will compare, just have to wait and see...

I was commander on a Leopard 2 A4 and the kit is very good. The pads are a Little to thick, but ok for a 1/35 scale kit.
Only the Barrel was not so good, but even Meng does a 2 pieces Barrel.

I don't mind the 2 piece barrel issues with kits as much as a lot of people seem to, I usually try the kit barrel, and If I am not able to get it to my satisfaction, then I will buy a replacement.

I think a 3D decal might have been better.

I just received my Leo today and the anti-slip doesn't seem so "strong" as the above photos.

Thanks for that Dan, that's good to hear, so you would also leave them as is then?

Tobias,
have you thought of markings or color for your Leo?
Turkey is using Leos against ISIS and could have these tanks as upgrades?
