Seeing PaulH Build makes me pop this one on the bench the kit came from a friend who only hauls kits but seldom builds lol This is one of the Old dogs kits, lots of flash and ejection pins (Tedious work) bad fittings details are molded to the hull as well the vision blocks, tracks are consist of 2 vinyl parts (smack the head) dunno If I'm in my right mind accepting this kit for a challenge lol The Decals already yellowed I think I'll do a stencil cut, print out or No decs at all lol  Tight fitting of the hull, its a straight forward build but marrying the 2 would be grueling lol lots of flash, if not I'll just get lighter and light up the tank   cheers!!! |

That's not a Leopard II, it's a Woofer II!
I've no doubt you'll make a fine job of it however.
Regards,
Mark

Hi ER, looking good- those fit issues are not anything that can't be sorted, but my biggest problem with these Italeri kits is the way the side bin hatches are integrated with the skirts makin' it a more complicated painting sequence than it needs to be in my mind, and also extra work if you want to model the skirts off. I know it'll only require a quick pass with a saw or such-like, but again its about ease of build for me(most of the time at least) Anyway, happy building  . P |
