This is my WIP Leopard 2, from Italeri.





nice kit, it may be inaccurate, but looks like a Leopard!!

Thanks for your kind comment Tamas!

Regards!

Guess I will have to call this one done for now. I have had the tracks on it for a week and I am still waiting for them to stretch out further to glue and set the sag. That's what's really bad about this Tamiya build as it is also pulling inward the front wheels.

I passed on doing the ambush as I had already gloss clear coated it over a weathering coat and didnt want the ambush pattern spots to be brighter, so I will try that on a future build instead.

Lots of good work going on.Sorry guys,I will have to pull out,it will be my 1st Big Cats Campaign missed.My house is taking a lot longer then I thought it would.So no house,no bench yet.

I'll join and continue thinning my stash from with these two:



Le Mans version had decals without tobacco sponsors, for which I had bought replacements. The sprint version has proper decals included with the kit. Trying to to build both, and hoping at least one turns out fine.

Great to see some cars included too. Shame about the tobacco decals not being included. I guess that's to keep kids with $40 kits from using their hobby money to buy cigarettes.
I don't think we will ever see AMT NASCAR re-pops with tobacco decals. Even though big tobacco were major NASCAR sponsors. When the National Guard dropped sponsorship of Dale Earnhardt's 88 car they said, "that there were no known enlistments generated by the millions invested by sponsorship" or something to that effect. I'm thinking the same could be said about tobacco products. But that's just me....

BTW: I've never smoked. It's just the PC factor that bothers me !

Oh wow! Now, that's a nice Jaguar!

Good morning mates!! I'm about to begin the painting of my Leopard 2, can someone help me? I would like to paint it in a winter scheme, but can't find a good reference picture. any picture would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!!

Well, I didn't find any good reference picture of a Leopard in winter scheme, and I want it to look different from the normal NATO scheme, I know is not a swedish Strv.122, but it looks the part. So I will paint it this way.

Starting pics for my Tamiya Jagdpanther (Late), along with a bunch of a/m goodies that I got a steal of a deal on; hopefully I can do the PE justice...

Hello
Is it OK to enter the campaign with Jagpanther?
Thanks

I would say so, that is what I entered.

You are right. I am gonna start mine after SMC in this weekend.

So this is the stage of my Jagdpanther right now:





W will see what is gonna be in the end

Some progress pics on my Jagdpanther, assembly pretty much done except for the tracks, ready for primer.

Status update:

The basic painting of my Jagtpanther is done:

Now the Jagdpanther is looking better:


Waiting to the resin tracks to arrive. So maybe some weathering will be done in between.

Progress update, Dragon 1/35 Panther F.

More update pics, ready to paint.

My Entry Started a Couple Of Months Ago

Is it possible to get 2 weeks extra?
I just received the resin trucks for my Jagdpanther

It's up to the campaign leader at this point. I'll keep an eye on this and if he doesn't respond I'll make the call before it's supposed to end.

Well!! I think I will not going to make it!! Bummer!

I definitely could use at least one more week at least. With kids being out all week for Thanksgiving break it has eaten into my time for modeling. I teach so I am also home all week with two teenage girls who are attention-hungry. My wife is doing all the cooking so I have to keep them out of her hair.
