Another Tamiya Leopard A4
Some work I have been doing on my old Tamiya Leopard A4
It has been in the loft for 20-25 years , may be longer. Bought by my wife for a birthday present. It lost most of the upper roles so the were replaced with plastic chanel. Not to bothered about originality at this stage, and it is hidden behind the skirts. Most of the lower wheels are worn and will need replacing at some point. Modern radio gear has been installed, along with a period warm motor.
Thanks to this site I have been able to replace some missing parts, and have spent a pleasant afternoon with a soldering iron making up the mirrors and gun travel lock, and brass wire for the cages around the smoke discharges. Thinking of putting in a smoke unit, not sure yet though. Still away to go. This is built to be a runner for fun, without altering it to much. I do have my eyes on some new wheels and upper rollers, if I can persuade the wife to let me buy them.

Good luck with it Rat. I've always wanted a Leopard myself. Maybe one day if I stumble across one at the right price.
