Leopard 1A5
Revell AG. kit by Sam Law.
- left and right armor
of the turret is quite difficult to fit into the turrent
- difficult to stick all the spacers on the armor into
the turret. You have to file the spacers to fit the
turret.
- the sighting unit of
the EMES at the right front of the turret. it seems too
high. I file it to the correct height.
- anyway it is an
excellent model
- this is my last model
use the paper shielding for camouflage spraying- one set
of paper shield for spray black, one for brown. It is
very very time consuming to do that. This is due to the
limitation of the air-brush (HG airbrush, Tamiya).
Afterwards, I change to use a new air-brush, Bager 360
dual action air-brush. With this brush, I can paint any
camouflage free-hand.
Remarks: In the second
photo, the tank behind Leopard1A5 is a M48E5 which is painted in
Nato camouflage. I think this tank with Nato camouflage should
not exist in the world, does it?
