Heng long long money Tamiya Leopard 2 restoration.

Some more done, to try and get the green more where I'd like it I used I initially used the ammo tan filter for tricolour camo. It helped but still not quite there. I added some lamp black and burnt umber to the mix and I think its where it should be.

Next I've gloss clear coated for the decals. I'll leave it a day to cure as the future has a habit of reacting with the microsol/set if applied too soon.

Wheels had their red dots added.

A little bit more done on the leo. Struggling with the mm paints. They seem really really fragile, paint scrapes as if it has hairspray under it even with 24 hours dry time. However I'm confident that with some more future and then the final layer of dullcote this will be fine.

I've added the decals, tidied up some areas of the paint, painted the mg 34, done some more on the wheels and suspension and painted the blue lens on the commanders site.

Next up will be the pin wash.

That looks rather smart.

Seems that the bargains are out there at the moment...

Am I mistaken, or is that a sub driver in the background?

Definitely, when people say tamiya are over priced I just smile and keep picking them up cheaply.

The colours gradually growing on me. I put it on my tank shelf and it looked nice along side all the others.

I've put another coat of future on, I wonder if the last was just too thin. Hopefully that will seal everything properly

Its is (sorta), its an R&R twin piston wtc, I use them in my type 214 and my type 21.

Are you a bubblehead too? Here are some of my boats.

Bubblehead? I wish, that's too expensive for me
