Hi folks,
I've just started my first project of 2019,
The kits are Leo2A4 from Meng and AIFV kit from AFV Club,
I'm planning to build this both kit same time with Turkish desert camouflage which was seen on Turkish AFVs during Operation Olive Branch at Syria.
I've started the assembling of ACV;

Thank you-I'll be interested in your paint mixes as I'd also like to make a Turkish Leo.

Base color is FS3343. Vallejo 70.913 yellow ochre. Save the head ache of mixing.

Just finished the assembling of hull,
The kit has some serious problems during the build.
Now I'm ready to start to work on Turret.

Building stage of ACV-15 has done,
Many parts are not fitted yet (right and left additional armor plates, running gear, tracks and amphibian shield)
Also many parts are scratchbuilt and modificated to build this kit as ACV-15.
Now I can start my Leo2A4.

I've just started to big boy,
Lower hull and workable suspensions are done
now working on workable tracks.
Lovely details and very nice fitting so far, highly recomended for modern AFV fans.

Just finished the lower hull and tracks.
Tracks are very sensitive, it can broke very easily and positioning to bumpers are really hard but general details and fitting is lovely.
