Heng long leopard 2A6 7.0 quick build

Post by Mr tank a lot »

Dear all

I needed a refresher as the T-72AV has slightly sucked my brain out!.
And wanted something to practise my weathering on before I do the Abrams, and the T-72.

It’s all out of the box, including the paint job, I’ve just done a few little things to it, and weathered it.

Hope your all very well 🙂

As i commented on the YT video this concept is great. Especially for beginners or those who havent ventured into detailing a model yet. There were only a handful of videos showing this when I started just recently ago. So I dove into armor scale modeling videos and got hooked line and sinker. There is something so special and fun making these tanks our own.

Great post and video share.

You don't need an airbrush to get started. This is the gateway drug...

Thank you for doing these videos.
I have used some of your previous videos to learn, and hopefully improve.

Hi Dr and meter!

Thanks, that’s far too kind, and thanks for watching them! Hopefully you’re not completely bored out of your skin!.

I’be started the testing with the bearings on the plastic gear boxes, I think it’s better, the carpet didn’t kill it, like it has in the past with other plastic boxes.

Here’s the vid for stone and carpet

And I’m going up to test them on sandy gravel today.

Have a good weekend

That was a fun video to watch. Your Leopard looks as awesome as any I’ve seen. Your weathering skills really makes the tank come to life.

I notice, when you spin the turret, the gun elevates over the rear deck. Is that standard?
