Hi All ,
Just a few photos of my Leo1A4. Inside and out. Not bad for a 40 year old model . Still got the gun Mantal cover and a few bits to do. So far. Tracks from AFV+ all the metal upgrades for the back panel and turret. Will post some more when I have her painted hope you like what i'v done so far and any suggestions as to what I might have missed let me know. Brian...Oh I forgot many thanks to Tomhughill for the DMD and MF units well done Tom . Brian...

Brizo,
Beautifully detailed! Very nice and neat inside as well!

Thanks painless still can't make up me mind as to what colour to paint her OD seams a bit to dark!! I know that was there colour but looking on the web they seam to be a lot lighter green? So a bit lost at the moment as to what shade of green to go for any susgestions would be of great help. And your StUG III/B top notch best i'v ever seen well done . Brian...

Brizo,
Thank you! There is a ways to go on the last section of it but I have hopes of finishing before Autumn rolls in. You can always go OD and use weathering techniques to lighten up the large flat panel areas leaving the joins a darker shade. Looks really good on armor when it is done.
regards,
Painless

That's not bad, you still have a way to go yet!. I might see if I can get some OD2 I think tamiya only do it in a rattler can?? But not sure. That's more green than brown!! And I think NATO green might be to much! What do you think??. Brian...

Bad lighting ...it's actually more green than olive ... ...not that much further ...but yeah...these modern tanks are big...painting the turret is like painting an entire Sherman

I was hopping that mig ammo done the OD there paints seam to be spot on with the shade. Still keep looking I will find the correct shade in time . Brian...

Did you see Darka's Leo? He did a nice camo on his.....his weathering is nice too...looks like some graphite effects

PS. Thought this Leo was cool...all the special armor sets it apart from others
