Alright, Meter rat! I have wanted to paint my TongDe Bradley in UN White, so I will watch attentively. Of course, I first have to ascertain that the UN has/had Bradleys and that they are/were white. But that's a minor detail. :/

And finally, made a start on installing a Clark board in it. With a little bit of luck, I may be running at the weekend.

I like the Leo 1 and the Leo 2.

When time and funds permit I will add a Leo 1 to my tanks as it will make a good addition to my Cold War tanks.......and look good alongside my Centurions and Chieftains ...........but for now I need to stay focused on the tanks I already have that need finishing or are in need of some "running repairs".......etc.

This Leopard is starting to come together. I got the elevation and recoil working for the main gun. I do have to work out how to turn off the track recoil.

Well! That’s a downer. After getting the barrel to recoil. I tried turning off the hull recoil. I have now lost the main gun sound, barrel recoil, but I have accomplished turning off hull recoil. Just need to get the barrel recoil, and main gun sound back. Two steps forward, one back.

You probably know that Maxmekker is the Clark board egg-spurt here on RCTW. Maybe he can help.
