Here are some pictures from one of my current projects, a Norwegian Leopard 2A4. This will be a tank from Telemark Battalion, the Norwegian High Readiness Force. I have used the Revell Leopard 2 A4 and scratchbuilt the bustle rack. The FN Mag is from Revells Leopard 2A6 and I'm also using a PE set from Eduards. The Hoffman system is from Tamiyas Leopard 2A6. The barrel is from Model Point.

It is certainly coming along very well! The anti-slip surface looks pretty good--what did you use for it?

Quite impressive work so far Erik. The scratchbuild parts and the anti-slip looks great.

The Leopard looks nice with the added bustle and the Modelpoint barrel looks great. Taking the time to layout the anti slip is impressive.

What's the best site for pictures of Norwegian Leopards?

Me, I guess...
I don't really know of any sites that have multiple pictures of Norwegian Leopards.

Hey Erik

Looks great. Nice build and a job well done on that anti slip coating. That looks nice to. I can't wait to see this one get to the finish line!!!
Just 1 minor thing I don't know if that white piece of plastic on the loaders hatch is correct.....

Cheers Roel

Hey Erik

Love for the job. And know them by heart. That's what you get when you have worked with these animals for the past 5 years. I know you'll make it a great one. Keep up the good work.

Cheers Roel

Is Model Point the only company that does a barrel for the Leopard 2A4? Its a bit pricey at something like $20+?

It was the only one I found... I really don't know if any other companies make it.

HI

Barrel Depot produced something toy like.

I think you can find the MP barrel for under 20.00 in some places.
