Finnland Marksman in progress.
















In 2016 I build the Marksman turret (Chieftain), testvehicle on Leo 1:



And check the turret in Leo 2 (ItPsv 90)



Last year I got the PSM kit for a good price.

So I do this.


The Marksman Chieftain has some differences to the Marksman T55. And the PSM is more accurate than the Takom ItPsv 90 (says Mr. Betzler)

Change my name? It's not worth it. In 2021 the marten is 50 years old, then the name fits again.

It's a treat to see the factory back at it!

Those are going to polish up quite nicely indeed.

And another Leopard is "ready for take-off". Canadian A4 (Ex-NL).  My Leo 2 No. 23.  It is the old Italeri/Revell-Kit.

Very nice  :smiley:  Those ex-NL Leos are usually referred to as 2A4s (or 2A4Ms) in Canadian service.

Leo 2 A4 NO ist ready. Only the "Nickname" on the turret. I need letter-decals.



The decals are left over from other kits.
