Very nice work on this Leo!
Just wondering though....why the hell does Bovington have a Canadian tank in it's collection? We're still using the damn things!

Bovington has 2 Ex Canadian Leopards, they were donated at the same time as the M113 & the Cougar!

Re: Leopard 1A4
Great build! I admire your guts to cut the alu chassis.....I think it'll cost me two nights sleep before I even would dare to cut the aluminium......
Kudos, John.
