Canadian Leopard 2A6m

[Ialarmu]

This is my attempt to build one of the Leopard 2's that we currently have on loan in Afghanistan.
More info here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfRauhF0xPU&feature=related

I added belly armor and plate armor with card stock. I still havent gotten the slat armor for it yet, I might not cuz it makes it look like a shopping cart.....

She looks ready to roll. I like the weathering on the road wheels

 

[Junkie]

Me too! The dust really looks right. That's a nasty (in a good way) looking tank.

 

[Ialarmu]

Thats good, I thought I might have gone a bit overboard on that dust. Thx.

 

[Frank Steffens]

The weathering is excellent...nice and dirty, the way a tank should look.

Nice dusty looking tracks. Excellent job on the weathering.

 

[schweinhund227]

Looking good!

What a beast! You are right all those cage armies make the aft look like S.karts lol

 

[Ferris928]

Dust looks great!

Woop woop. That is the best build I've seen yet of our new cats. Looks like it just got back from a week in the field. Kudos.

Ahh, that is nice. The weathering looks quite nice. Is that the new Trumpeter kit or an older kit with a conversion set?

 

[DreamKnight]

Love the weathering! Great build. That's a pretty sweet tank!

It's the new HobbyBoss kit!

 

[Carsenault]

Yes, sorry, that is what I meant.

 

[13aceofspades13]

that looks sweet! what did you use for the weathering effects?

 

[Elm City Hobbies]

I don't think that is the Hobby Boss kit, likely just the Tamiya 2A6 kit that he added scratchbuilt belly armor to, as the HB kit comes with all the extra armor and such....would be no point in scratchbuilding it, as well the armor on the front of the tank between the lights up to the driver's hatch is different on the HB kit.

Looks good none the less, and probably went together a little better/easier than the HB kit.

Grate work there man!

 

[Ialarmu]

Oh man, I didn't get an email for these replies this is like a year ago. To clarify, It's the Tamiya 2A6 kit. I just scratch built the belly armor and frontal armor with cardstock. and yes , it was a dream to build, no fit issues whatsoever.

Sorry guys, not sure why that happend.
