I agree Painless. Everyone is going at it with a passion and they all look terrific.

I think I don't have them tungsten carbide cutting bits in my Dremel set....

Looks good as a overall finish, but needs some wear on it like its been climbed on by crew members. Like some shiny edges or chipped paint.

One thing everyone seems to have overlooked is the cutouts on the taillight armor cover tubes. On the A2 they are only on the part facing toward the engine grills. The are easy to do with a hot knife and a little filing (being careful not to hit the diode wires inside them)

Then push filler into the openings covering the wires and any part of the tail light diode that's visible and making the rear hull plate look like it extends into the opening . Then paint it black where it covers the wires and the same color as the hull back plate in that part of the filled in area until no red taillight light can be seen when the tank is turned on.

Here is a rather bad pic of mine, but it shows what I'm talking about.

Didn't really think you were finished with the weathering yet. Looking forward to seeing it completed.

[greengiant]

Looking good.

Gulp - I've got a lot to do to make my Leo anywhere as good as this!!

Quite like one and two. I've got something similar to do with the Leopard optics but they're blue
