Hi all!
I just finished up through clear coat on a Tamiya Leopard 2A6 with Friul tracks, Eduard details and Leopard Club barrel. I used all Tamiya paint plus tried their flat clear coat for the first time, it is still a little glossy but weathering will change that. Time to make it look a little used, I'll post those pics when I'm all done. Let me know what you think!

Nice work! Looking forward to seeing it weathered
That's right, it grew and grew with each version The entire back of it is an ammo depot which can be ejected in case of emergency. So the space in the turret itself is still quite scarce and since it is a 120mm gun it's quite a job to be a loader in that one... I've done it myself once and can say: the Leopard 1 has a smaller turret on the outside, but inside it's quite spacy and much better suited for a little nap during all those long, long waiting hours on the trainground
