Hi all,

a while ago I did build this one here as a commission work for one of my customers who likes my style.

This tank was fun to build because the one I got had some flaws I had to correct. I like a little challenge.Come to find out the others were all right, mine was the only lemon so far but no big deal at all.

Here some others waiting in line to get finished !

Several layers of weathering to give it the action worn appearance that I witnessed when I was in the German Army in a Panzerbrigade and the Leopards were playing on the exercise ground.

Off it goes to Mexico !

Sorry that the pics are sub standard but I only had an old camera at that time.

I might add pics of the cats playing outside with a Stuart once I find them...

Hi Big Tanks of America ,
Please can you tell me if I am right that the 'Field of Armor' range does not have any suspension ?? The axles just run solid in the hull.

Right out of the box: yes. THere are ways to get a suspension built into it, if interested contact me via email directly, I can send you pictures of the setup.
Thanks
