All,
Hobbyboss's excellent Canadian Leopard 2a4m, with LeopardClub - Aerials, Tow Chain (Eureka), Towing Hooks/shackles, and Velcro tabs. Weathered for winter training at CFB Wainright /Suffield in Canada, 'Leo' serving with Lord Strathconas Horse regiment - will be building a base for the tank to sit on, nice and muddy with snow covering;

Thanks for looking.

Nope, you do get a decal sheet with over 500 of the little bleeders, but found they have a very small amount of carrier left when used, so went for these Vinyl ones from Leopardclub ( http://leopardclub.ca/workshop/LW035/ ), just need a new no.12 blade and flick them out and press onto the kit, the instructions dont show a lot of the ones that are under the turrett, round the back, etc. found this book exceptional for constructing the kit ( http://www.trackpadpublishing.com/#!canadian-leopard-2a4m/cpo0 ) bargin at £16.50. Dont forget the kit box and build is incorrect, 2a4m's never served with slat armour WITHOUT the barracuda netting. Good luck with yours, my build review on Armorama, should be up soon i hope :-)

Thanks for all the kind comments guys

Sorry mate,i did not make myself very clear on the patch's.

I read on one of the reviews i think that if you paint them first with a texture paint you get a more velcro 'feel' to them.

Cheers
