Now it is done. Has been huge work to improve the kit, which is ok but bad for its age.

thank you Simon. I oriented the dirt on photographs and my own experience with german engineer tanks basing on Leopard 1. After one or two days every tank is full of dust and i like dusting tanks too.

I Like it, Nice paintjob and photos 👍
P.s. I agree with you and Spanjaard 😎
I think the only clean Tanks are the ones in military parades or the ones standing in museums 😄

Thank you Rui S, on exercises and on deployment they get really dirty. But we clean our tanks after it so they don´t loose dirt on the streets on the way back to the barracks and the tanks are getting cleaned in the barracks very carefully. So not only on parade or museums the tanks are clean, in the barracks too but thats it 😉

Album info

This is Revells Leopard 1, was a hard built with good fitting but very much cleaning and much putty work and sanding. I remade the catastrophic cables which are made of vinyl in the box and doesn´t even look like a steel cable. I remade the turret structure which was too rough before and i remade the tool handles and the cable for the IR light.
