    Always preferred the look of the Leopard 1 to it's more modern brothers. That colour really makes it's silhouette stand out

    TongDe USMC M60 pre "Desert Storm" theme. Not quite done yet but close enough to post a photo. This tank is not stock and has a number of aftermarket cosmetic and mechanical upgrades.

    Yeah day jobs just get in the way...

    Excellent work sir! Welcome to the forum.

    Thank you. It’s a very impressive piece. My Challenger took over two years to complete. But then we did build a house. Sometimes work and life just get in the way.

    And I have been known to run mine hard, And it’s only de-tracked once. And that was my own fault.

    Mr C. I think you need a couple more link in the tracks. The track when correct should just touch the second road wheel, as shown on the box in the last picture.

    Thanks for the kind words sir.

    Yes I agree it's not sitting properly. See my post on the other forum where Herr Dr. is questioning his vision and Mick can't agree on tank genders.

    But yes, I did add another link that's what you see there. Before I added the extra link it looked like some current gen teen in skinny jeans. It's not the same as the Taigen in the background. I had added 2 links and the tracks sagged like an old lady's,,,,, ahem. Well I'll solve it. I was thinking of stiffer springs on the first and second wheels. I had already drilled new spring holes and reclocked them. Tiger 822 is on plastic tracks now. When you see the first pic above on the metal tracks it looks much more proper.
