Faun SLT -56 Tank transporter loaded with Jaguar 1

[jackh.]

This is a build that have been on the go for a very long time ( i think I started on this around 2004). It's as you can see Trumpeters very nice kit of the Faun SLT which will be loaded with Revell's nice kit of the Leopard 2A4 which is straight out of the box, the only addition being a new barrel + new tracks and some detailing.

First of the Faun's current state:














Leo 2a4 ready for primer:








one just to show it of

You're not alone, with me it's the same, only with a PzH 2000, which I'm still searching for...

That old Italeri Leo was really a gem in my eyes, only the tool box hatches had been howwibly howwibly. Too sad it's no longer available.

Excellent Paul, but the shipping costs to Germany are a killer!

Someday I will run into a second hand kit at a model show or maybe Revell comes up with a re-release...

Easy lads no pushing , got loads of space in the Hovman hangar

Made some detailing/cabling









Be aware that the stop blocks placed on the fender are shown in the instructions the wrong way round, the handle should face forward.
