modelling minion Posted March 12, 2023 Author Share Posted March 12, 2023 3 minutes ago, Mippie said: Thanks 😊 I guess the main question now is what to do 🤣 Is there any particular brand in 1/35 that is the "best" for making 2a5/6/7's or the Strv-122? Or one of the engineering variants? I guess there may be an overview somewhere in the last 11 pages? As I say I am no expert but for those versions of Leopard I would think the Tamiya and Revell 1/35 kits would be a good place to start. 🇺🇦 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mippie Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Sure this has already been linked elsewhere but just found this which I think is super useful for 1/35 leo's: http://leopardclub.ca/LeopardLists/2-kit/plasticKits.shtml 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted April 12, 2023 Author Share Posted April 12, 2023 For those of you wanting to build an up to date Leopard from it's newest operator then Tamiya has released their 2A6 kit with Ukranian markings, wonder if they will release their T-72 with a spring loaded turret so we can build authentic dioramas? 🇺🇦 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already bought a RFM 2a6 haha, hoping we get some pics of Leopards in the wild before I start painting! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenoz Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 (edited) And for lovers of 1/72 scale... the leopard 2a7+ from Vespid Models is magnificent... and their 2a7V uparmored kit... simply yummy.... sorry if I cost you a few new kits...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I really fancy bulding the Revell kit of a Leopard 2A4 on a tank transporter. Would the whole deal be eligible in this GB, or just the Leopard itself? If it's just the tank, I can build the transporter in the relevant TLC GB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whichever you want to do mate, for me you can build the transporter and the Leopard in the GB as it will add to it, so the choice is yours. 🇺🇦 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Craig. Here is the box. It's big! I think I'll build the Elefant in this GB as I'm not sure I could finish it in the time left on the TLC GB. There are a lot of wheels! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Less than one week to go!! Have you got your Leopard kit(s) ready? Have you got all your paints, glues and extras, etc. ready? All your reference materials? Anything for vignettes or dioramas? @modelling minion & I are really looking forward to the start next Saturday and following all your builds!! Kind regards, Stix 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 ………and Enzo has kindly got the GB area set up and we're open for business!! You can get your threads set up now but don’t forget you need to wait to start your actual builds until next Saturday (27th May) when the GB actually starts. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 Yes its time to dust off your Leopards as the GB is finally here! As Stix says, if you can curb your excitement for a week before actually starting that would be good but the 25% rule is there to be used if you can't, and prep work doesn't count. Lets make this a good one! 🇺🇦 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Finally it's here after a few attempts.......then the server goes down.......Craig I told you it goes into the other hole!!! Everything is all set for my build, though it maybe a couple of weeks before I can start, have a couple of big beasts on the bench to move further along first. Looking forward to this one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mippie Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 I'll get a thread and box pic up soonish. One thing I am not clear on, what are the limitations outside of being a Leopard? By that, can I include figures, or a little scene/base? I am far from being certain of being able to pull either of those off, but my ambition knows almost no bounds 🤣 Cheers, Mipps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
