Very nice work on this Leo!

Just wondering though....why the hell does Bovington have a Canadian tank in it's collection? We're still using the damn things!

Bovington has 2 Ex Canadian Leopards, they were donated at the same time as the M113 & the Cougar!

Nice work sparks

Started to paint and fit the new parts.
Return roller supports.

Return rollers fitted.

More cutting out to fit track tensioners.

Also had to remove threaded tab that helps to hold the front bulkhead in place.

Will have to fix it some other way
Track tensioners fitted.


Internal view.

New nickel silver track tensioner hydrolic pumps.

Road wheels, idlers and drive sprockets in place.


Hub caps on.

OMG This is looking superb Far cry from when I built the original back in the 90`s

Great looking Leo 1, you are a Master at the details. Well done sir...

Great build! I admire your guts to cut the alu chassis.....I think it'll cost me two nights sleep before I even would dare to cut the aluminium......

Kudos, John.
