How hard would it be to take this:

Fantastic!

My one nit pick (sorry Apophenia) would be that the Força Aérea Brasileira maritime patrol aircraft haven't worn fuselage roundels since WW2 and the tail markings are a green and yellow flash, rather than the Brazilian flag.

I could easily see these in Spanish and Portuguese service with detachments in the Canary Islands and the Azores.

I wonder about South African as well. I'm not sure what relations between Japan and South Africa were at the time though.

Brian - the Meng armor would probably fit an earlier Leopard quite easily. The sections are mostly flat plates and could be duplicated with styrene sheets.

I added most of not all the decals. I still need to do some painting on the road wheels and the optics and add a few extra bits like tools and water containers. This is in indirect light, late afternoon:



The mantlet color looks shiny, mainly because I used oils for weathering. Once that's dry, I'll give everything a semi-matt coat:

Valkyrie Update:

Another successful day in the construction yards. A coat of primer has been applied and, as always, the miracle of pulling everything together has happened once again.

I gave Feldwebel Hans Gruber and his faithful hound Rufus the day off...
