Started my new project. This time it is a Leopard 1 Batch 4 from Revell with a few AM sets. Not even ten minutes into the build and i remembered why i am not building Revell kits. 🙁
Rigt now i have mixed feelings about this kit. Despite being a new tool from 2015 the fit of the parts is really bad. Nearly all bigger parts needs putty to close the gaps. 🙁
Have not used this much putty in a while. 😄
Unfortunately there are also big ugly molding seams on many parts, ejection pin marks and sink holes.
But hey, modeling without challenges is boring. 😄

Looking good so far.

Thank you Michael and James.
@James: For me the disappointment is not the price of the AM products (i wanted to have them) but the kit itself. I was hoping for a good kit for this money and the day and age.
I could have gone for the old Tamiya kit as it is cheaper and got a better fit.

Hull is almost completed. Only the rear lights are missing. I lost one and had to recast it. Moving to the turret now.

Hehe yep the fun with Revell armour kits. I can't remember one without sinkholes🙂 but you did a very good job so far.
Regarding the putty you must feel a bit like I did with the 262. Sometimes you wonder if parts from another kit got mixed in somehow😄

Sieht schon Mal ganz anständig aus! Die Schweissnächte am Heck sind supergut gelungen! 👍

Thank you guys. 🙂
Now i have to test the colors. I have Revell Gelbolive RAL 6014 and the A.Mig one. Not sure which one is better.

Thanks mate. Was really pain to buid this one but in the end it was worth it. 🙂

Rene Scheiblich
Yep. Beat it fair and square. 🙂
Tidy job all around! Lots of effort with the weldlines and all the extra details, love it. And... I don't see that much putty😉 are you a bit spoiled from Tamiya and Trumpeter kits? ;P
15 August 2018, 07:28
Ingo F
Thanks Rene. Nah, its more like spoiled from Tamiya and MENG kits. 😄 Some of the Trumpy kits also require putty.
I managed to hide most of the putty so not much is visible.😉

Rene Scheiblich
That's why the weldlines are so neatly done... Tons of putty underneath😛
No seriously sweet job 👍

Ingo F
Damn, you got me. 🙂 Thats the reason why i decided to add the weld lines. 😄

Finished the painting and moving to the decals next. In the end i decided to go with Gelbolive from A.MIG and it turned out good. Not much highlightning as i was trying not to over do it on this one.

Nicely done paintjob Ingo. The highlighting on the turret is a bit more intense than on the hull though or is it me?
22 August 2018, 20:20
Ingo F
Thank you Rene. You are right with the turret. My thoughts were that the turret get more sun then the hull. 🙂 Is it too much?
22 August 2018, 20:24
Rene Scheiblich
Makes sense. I wouldn't say it's too much 🙂 just sticks out a bit compared to the hull imho. But knowing you, it will be tied together perfectly after weathering 👍

Nice build, and yeah, Revell will be Revell... Always, but they cost half the price of a Tamiya, and are still pretty descent... You have some more work on them, but hey, we are modellers, aren't we?
24 August 2018, 08:00
Ingo F
Thank you Bart. Yeah you are right, whats scale modelling without challenges.... boring. 🙂

Added an coat of brown filter over the whole model to break the uniform and clean surface.

Finished. Was quite a fight with this one but in the end i think it turned out really good. 🙂
