This is Tamiya's 1/16 Leopard, protecting it's diminutive counterpart. Hope you like it!

Cheers, Tom

Looks good Uncarina. Any thought of adding stowage item details?

Looks sweet dude, I especially like the weathering you have done on the tracks :-)

Thanks! Mig's Pigments (Euro Dust), some pastels, and graphite. I'm really enjoying your build by the way, and am itching to get a Challenger 2!

I too like the 'lived-in', 'used' weathering effects in the tracks close-up :thumbup: I'm a big fan of weathering effects, except where they apply to my face... :haha:

Tom, have you tried battling with it? I wonder because a guy in the local club has a Tamiya Leopard and he can't score hits on my IBU2 equipped Tiger One. I've been told that's a common problem with the Tamiya Leo, and has something to do with the specific IR code used in that model, but a lot of it's way over my head. I just think it's a riot that I can hit his and he can't hit mine. @) @) @)

Like Alpha, I like the different scale aspect with different models of the same subject. FSM once did a piece with P-51 models (they used "Big Beautiful Doll") and had five or six models in different scales all lined up next to each other. Pretty cool. I did that with S33 in 1/16 and 1/48.

Your Leo looks just great, Tom.
