Now all liveried up, apart from the bridge weight, as I ran oot of yella paint. Made a start on weathering. Weathering will be fun, as these got filthy in the Kosovan winter. Still plenty of small jobs to do, and some touching up to do.

The markings turned out great! The letter with the templates took several weeks to arrive from Poland to Scotland, but luckily it arrived ;)

The Kelvinator, just got dirtier.
Managed to complete most of the weathering on my Leopard 1A5DK. A few bits have come off in the construction, and will need remaking. Now just waiting on some matte finish to seal in the weathering. Looks like one of the smoke dischargers needs putting back.

Very nice execution - I wish Leopard 1s were easier to get.

I think that looks great Ian :thumbup:

I'd almost Not clearcoat it because it looks great as is and clearcoats can alter the finish.
