Altough I'm not a local tanker, I've felt that this tank deserves a topic on this page too, because it came from here.
I've bought it from Mattdragon a few weeks ago and it came a long way to Hungary. It was love at first sight. I think this tank deserves a new life. Thanks to Matt, it arrived safe and sound. There vere some screws and parts missing, but it was easy to get them from AFV-Models with the upgrade idler tensioner and matal cable rods.
Here you can see the tank how it looked like when it arrived:
I started with breaking off the remaining parts wich were glued with CA glue I guess. Not a good solution. Then I started the build with the shock absorbers. I used two-component Araldite epoxy wich is strong as hell:
Later I masked the inner rods for painting.
I continued the building with the torsion bars where I used the upgraded metal torsion mounts:
Then I attached the upgraded suspension arms couse I decided to paint the complete lower hull togeather. These metal parts added some serious weight to the Leo
:
And the upgraded idler tensioner wich is a must:
Finally I attached the rear parts and side running rollers and left it to dry:
Thx for watching...
