Hey folks,

I'm ready to call this leopard 2 build done. I'm not a speedy builder or painter so this has probably taken longer than it ought but I'm pleased with the end result.

Its been built mainly stock with a couple of targeted upgrades, impact metal suspesion arms, idler adjusters, an okmo mg42, a tbu and a SOL crew.

The full builds here:

This is where I started

And finished

That looks fantastic! The details really pop with that expert pin wash application. The weathering and those figures really turn it into a TOTM candidate. After seeing how good yours turned out I almost wish I hadn’t converted mine into a 2A7+.

Thank you Jimster! I wasn't a big fan of the a6 but over the course of this restoration I've come to love it.
