Trust me to get lumbered with a name like saddo I suppose I asked for it. I have one myself Dave it does not have every thing like the one for sale but it has the bearings upgrade the metal idle adjuster the high detail barrel and stabiliser im not really into modern tanks but you cant take it away from it its a cracking tank I like when you switch it off and you can hear the turbo fans slowing down.

Any chance of some pictures?

i can let you have a picture of how far i have got so far (which isn't very far actually!). i have the wheels, suspension arms, all the metal hooks, the lights, the barrel stabiliser, full option kit, tensioners, metal barrel. it's criminal letting it sit there really, but i just don't have the time. before you get too sympathetic though, it was a present from the wife, so it's not all bad.

Here are some pics of mine I have still to weather it I was'nt sure how to weather it as it is a modern tank and kept in tip top condition but I was in a challenger 2 last week and got a good look at it and it was in good shape the only rust was on the metal parts of the tracks so I will do that one day. Lets see the pics of your leo dave getting built I did not build this tank I bought it on ebay already built and painted though I stripped the paint off and done it again as it was done by hand and you could see every brush stroke.

as i said, mine is very much a work in progress and i didn't even have any pics ready, so i have just snapped these now. that's why they are cropped rather haphazerdly as i need extra time to blow the dust off the tank rather than getting it set for pics. might give you an idea. if it ever gets finished i'll post some pics. one day
