Title: Tamiya 1/35 Leopard 1 A4
Post by: JudgeDredd on November 19, 2015, 10:39:49 PM
As I got a bit bored a while back with the Sea Harrier - to keep things ticking over, I decided to do a bit of armour.

So it was the turn of my 1/35 Tamiya Leopard 1 A4

It's fiddly. I suspect it's a fairly old kit a) because of the price and b) because of the fit

It's not a bad fit - it's just fiddly. Not as precise as some kits.

Almost done

All made - mostly. Waiting on my Badger Primer so I can prime it and the tools. Then I'll weather and put the tools on and done.

This looks great.

Will you be adding weathering and some mud or is it a factory special?  :)

Do you have a scale base to stand it on?

If only i had the time.......

Thanks for posting this JD

I will be adding weathering and no - no dioramas yet. Too much work. I'm going to continue to focus on models at the moment.
