Hi there...

I've just updated my website with photos of the new Danish Leopard 2A5 and the old M-41 DK1...

Here is a preview:




The rest of the photos can be found at: http://www.howitzer.dk/

Look at "Modeling Reference", and then go to the Danish section "Danish Army Vehicles"

Best regards,

Bjoern

Nice tank. It does look like it shares some features with the swedish strv 122, am I correct. The leopard I mean :-)

Do you have any pictures of the turret top?

Nice looking web site. Is color on the Leo really that yellow? In the first photo on your site it looks much more OD.

The color is OD, but its freshly painted and looks a bit shiny.

As MrMox said... It's not yellow, but OD - I think it's my camera, the light available, and the fact that it is freshly painted, that make it look yellow!

Here is photo taken with an onther camera last year! Note the colour!



And no, I don't have any photos of the top of the turret and the engine deck yet!

I'll see what I can do the next time I get close to one of those beasts!
