Tamiya Leopard 2A6 Desertised...

Post by Ad Lav »

After a bit of time in and out of the hobby and messing about with projects I didn't really sink my teeth into, I have finally cleared a lot of the half built tanks and kits and purchased a Tamiya Leopard 2A6!

Was a toss up between the Leopard and the new Type 10, basically the Leopard won because of some reviews about the Type 10.

I will try and post some photos but for now it's just a box with lots of bits :)

Not really lol :)

It's going to be a long build but it's taking shape - I'll get some photos up later.
