G'day guys,

First post for me on the forums - am very much a noob, having only completed 2 tanks in my 'adult' building career...

But just wanted to ask, I'm interested in getting a Leo 2A4 for my next build and was wanting to know if Norwegian decals can be bought for it?

I'm sure there's hobby stores around in Norway, but sadly I don't speak Norwegian

Cheers guys -

What do they look like Stewy? I may have something lurking in my archives somewhere from an old Leo...

G'day Gary,

Mate, they're pretty hard to find on the net - here's two links that I saw on another forum

Here are some: http://www.rommelkiste.de/specials/Skandi/Skandi.html

Thanks for the kind words. Please feel free to ask any question about the Norwegian Leo2A4. I got 14 in the motor pool.
The one in my Gallery is a 2004 version. Since then the Leopards have been repainted and got new marking. I have built another one, but have to make some new decals. Should not be that difficult, but I have to find the time to get the job done. There are no aftermarket decals for the vehicle as of now. I still have the "masters" I made for my last Leopard. If you want them I can e-mail them, but you need Photoshop to wiev and print them. The decals are for the Company commanders vehicle.

I have some measurement pics in my Photobuckett album which I think you will find usefull

Erik

Thanks for the advice and help Erik - PM sent mate

I'm not Norwegian myself, but am fascinated by your incredibly beautiful country! I've only visited once so far, but it's incredible!

Thanks
Stew

Well Stewy, I stand corrected. Right you are, I don't think I've seen those markings anywhere. I had some Dutch Leo markings left over so sorry I can't help out.

Good luck, Gary
