Re: Leopard 1 A4
Its nice to see another Leopard. Can I comment one thing......the extended side skirts for the drive sprockets.....why?
It would look so much better without them, they are in the kit to stop people putting their fingers in silly places.

Re: Leopard 1 A4
I truly appreciate constructicve criticism. I honestly do not know a whole lot about this model and the little research I did showed the tanks fitted with the skirts, that is why I added them to the model.Andy in Cheltenham wrote:Its nice to see another Leopard.

I have pondered removing them, but was unsure if it would be correct to do so.
As for the paint, I thank you guys! It was a last minute decision to attempt it and I wanted something unique, hence the winter version colors. I updated this tank with AFV's TU's as well as the machine gun, travel lock, and some other metal parts. The road wheels and return rollers are in great shape, so they were left stock. Only other thing I am going to install are the late model tracks with rubber pads from Kenny Kong.
Electronics are ELMod Pro. Here's a video link to my youtube page.

Re: Leopard 1 A4
No you got me wrong, your tanks good. The side skirts them selves are spot on, its just the extra bit at the rear that almost touches the gound. 
That is the bit that is not needed, sorry I'm a bit of a Leopard bore......

Re: Leopard 1 A4
LOL @ Andy!!! I know what you mean. I figured they would be torn off the tank in no time, but so far they have held up. I have to post up some pictures of what this thing looked like when I bought it. It should have been in the rc tank junkyard.
Thanks for the kind words too. I m currently planning to bring it to the Danville event in April to sell it.

Re: Leopard 1 A4
really awsome detail! I thought it was a real one! especially the front angle shot showing part of a reddish road wheel.
Wow!
