Thanks all for the kind comments

Yes it's a hupig change for the leo2 .. there so many different upgrade packages it's was difficult to know which one to have a go at and where to start
I went for the swedish Leo as a start simply because I want to do a different paid to job to the normal
European national standard paint job.. the problem is the Swedish Leo has a totally different roof structure and when I started to look in to it .,it got a lot more complicated ...
I only want a different pair jo and look that happened ,,

Hi all

Time is rolling on ..and the misses made me think as she asked .." what we doing for Christmas ? "
Hmmm really .. !

OK so had time again over the last few days to sit and being to build and almost finished the bar armour ..
I wish the brains at the tank development centre would come up with some ting easier to model
it's a nightmare making this stuff many hours of tinkering to get it right and still corrections to be made and additional detail to be added ..
it really changes the look of the leopard .. so much so it don't look like a leopard ?. I have seen the singapore leo 2 update to there armour that quite a nice interesting build ..perhaps ..?.....

Any way a bit pic heavy again sorry !
but enjoy ....

Ian, my Leo2 looks very bland and un-interesring compared to this !!

Stunning work, can't wait to see this painted.

Ian,

What type/brand of glue do you use to bond your styrene parts to the Heng Long plastic?

Thanks,
Barry
