I've been building Leo 1 again for a long time. The 2 on the left have been finished for a few years. In the summer I started with Dozer. It's finished now. The Mexas from Meng.

Now comes the one with the "thermal cover". Base is Hobbyboss.

Check on Meng Mexas:

Nice collection of Mexas kits. The resin thermal cover looks good.

The MEXAS is looking good. Nice collection of mine plows, too!

Hello,

The cover didn't fit so well on Hobbyboss front

I could have saved myself the work with scratching and copy in resin in 2015.

now ready:

The 3 brothers are waiting

That's a very cool collection forming there, Didi!

Hello,
Mexas No 5 is also finished. I built on it during an model show

I see a big paint shop session in your future, Didi!

Great work all 'round!

Nice suite of tanks. Really nice work with the mods on all those Leopards.
Co-incidentily, I have just finished an Aussie Leopard 1A4 build, but using more ancient tamiya offering.

Indeed! Although its almost a shame to paint 'Mexas No 5'. With all that gleaming brass, it looks like jewelry

With your new direction, you might be needing a different 'handle' Didi. Perhaps Leopard Lad

That's a lot of Canadian tanks .... Are you sure they have that many?

Buzzbomb · « **Reply #19 on:** February 20, 2024, 05:41:58 AM »

Production line is still moving.. great work throughout this lot

Lovely work as always, Didi

Reportedly, the Canadian Army still has 82 Leopard 2 MBTs - 112 if you're counting support vehicles. I'm not sure whether that includes the 4 2A6s donated to Ukraine.

The real question is: How many of those Canadian Leo 2s are in good nick ... or even running?

Kerick · « **Reply #21 on:** February 20, 2024, 01:16:25 PM »

All........those.......wheels........

And that's not considering the tracks! I hope they are not all individual links!

Marderman · « **Reply #22 on:** February 26, 2024, 05:36:12 AM »

Hello friends, hello Kerick

Only 2 get individual tracks. I bought these about 20 years ago. They're from HKCW. I broke it a bit. The other two get tracks from Italeri.

Coming along splendidly. I confess I don't keep up with modern armor too much, but these are really interesting.
