Cold War. Belgium Gepard.
Posted: Sun Oct 26, 2025 5:08 pm
Late to the party on this.
I was going to rebuild my other Tamiya Leopard 1, as a second Danish 1A5DK from the Black Recon Brigade.
At the moment it is a bit far gone to ensure completion in the time constraints.
As the Gepard had been purchased, the could be a suitable candidate for my incompetent butchery.
A book was acquired.
As the Belgium Gepards are essentially the same as the German variety, it will give options regarding markings.
A small start has been made, by removing the moulded handles, and replacing them with wire. Side skirt from the left side has been removed.
For a modern model, the details are not as crisp as the 35 year old Tamiya Leopard 1A4. There are some glaring differences which will need addressing. There are a lot of holes required.
Oh well at least the paint is simple.
