Great tank.

Hate the way some people can build such amazing models so quickly.

Its now 99% done, I have spent days weathering it and putting stone chips on etc. I had to araldite the side armour on as super glue was nowhere near strong enough.

If I can get hold of an HL Leopard upper and lower hull, I may well have a go at the ARV version, I have been looking at the kit on the German sites (which is big big money) and reckon that it could be done for a fraction by scratch building it. The HL Leopards are a minimum of £110, and if I went the whole hog, I would have to add metal roadwheels, steel gearboxes and metal tracks to that.

After now seeing this beast in the flesh, I can 100% confirm its absolutely stunning, I am green with envy, Robs scratch building skills are excellent.

I know his next project, Buffalo, will be a cracker.

Well done Rob, and also a big thank you for sorting out the elevation and recoil in my Tiger.
