    Looks great! But, I especially like the Scottish sunshine in the background.. Seriously though, the color palette looks like it's been outside, as it should.
    The more screws it takes to reassemble a tank, the more likely it is you left something out!

      The only thing Tamiya on my Leopard2a6 is the metal track.
      ​
      It has a Torro metal lower chassis, Torro plastic upper chassis. The Heng Long turret is upgraded with servo recoil. I used the HL NATO pattern as my painting guide.

She’s now asking why others are not as cheap?)
        I think I have created an inexpensive, good looking model, and if this mediocre modeller can do it, then anyone can.
        It is finished as a “what if”, if the Danish have had a 2A7, converted to 2A7v for evaluation purposes. Just need an amber beacon, and to fit the tow ropes.
        I think she looks really good Ian.

        Lol, See now she's gonna wonder when the next one is is a few pence more.

        I have a beacon that comes with the Torro if your interested? It's just the amber LED bulb though on a metal post, nothing fancy. Might be time for me to send a holiday card your way this year.

          This has nothing to do with Tamiya. So I’m not even sure why you felt the need to inform me that yours has Tamiya tracks?
          Please! Change those tail lights. Heng Long put the lights where the reflectors are. It is not a difficult job to make the rear end more accurate. Gave mine a function test the other day.
