This is a Leopard 2A4 in German service.
|
| It is a standard Revell kit built without modifications. I even used the decals that came with the kit. |
I had started on a conversion to build a Swedish Strv 121 using the Matchbox Leopard 2A4 with parts from the Hasegawa Leopard 2. When Dragon released their Leopard kits I decided to use it instead. So that nothing would go to waste the Matchbox kit was built as a Norwegian tank. I had to rebuild the rear of the turret because of this.
|
| I cut the ice cleats from the Hasegawa hull and replaced some of the rubber pads on the tracks with them. The tank was painted, and homemade decals completed this. |
| A camouflage net was made of tea leaf’s on cigarette paper. This was painted white. |
| A wooden base with micro balloons for snow finished it. |
A leopard in the woods of Finland.
|
| This is the Revell Leopard 2A4 with some modifications to build the Finnish vehichle. |
| Like some boxes and extra handles on the turret. The decals came from a Dragon kit. |
