Ive read the Revell review but cannot find the Hobby-boss review ? Im guessing it isn't out yet or its more than a few months old ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mig Eater Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) I have a Revell Leo1 kit that I'm planning to convert to either the Jagdleopard concept design... Or the Matador prototype anti-aircraft tank, which was a competitor to the Gepard. The "Erprobungsträger mit 3-achs-stabilisiertem" prototype is on my todo list too. It was a heavily modified Leo 1 with a new experimental oscillating turret equipped with 3-axis stabilisation. Only the running gear & engine deck is the same as a Leo1 so this one would probably require scratch building/3D printing.

Some very unique and different designs there @Mig Eater, as the last two were at least built in prototype form then they would most certainly qualify for the GB, and be very interesting builds to watch too. I shall add your name to our list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about being new to the tank business, I am predominantly an aircraft builder but I do like to build some armour and by no means profess to be any kind of expert on the Leopard or any other tanks, I just really like them and wondered if there would be enough like minded people out there.

An Aussie one would be great, especially in one of the later unique camo schemes. I will not be providing the cocktails on this GB mate as I will be hosting, someone else will have to pick up my slack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxbat Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I was following the quite stupendous Bergepanzer build on here and was inspired to slip a couple of late model Leopard 2s into the stash. My record with 1/35 armour in group builds is appaling but it would good to at least start one of them in company. So, err, yes. I'm in Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A late model Leopard 2 will make a nice addition to the lineup. Consider yourself added to the list my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
