                        Leopard 2A5 Kosovo -finished-
                        Posted by Anonymous on Friday, January 16, 2004 7:59 AM
                        Before everything else I would like to thank all of you guys in the FSM Forum for being great help and inspiration to me even if I was just here for a short time. Here's my first finished submission.
                        -Leopard2A5-, I added the camo netting on top and a bit more dirt on the side skirts. This hopefully makes the mobile outpost version they used in Kosovo, minus the " /\ " emblem. The camo net was made using shredded toilet paper sprinkled on a white glue drenched netting then sprayed with Tamiya's field grey and olive drab.

                        The camo net is a very cool touch.

                        Thanks guys,
                        Obiwan, J-hulk,
                        Sentry,
                        Sgt. jj- The reference photo I got for this tank was dated sometime in 2000.
                        Chris,
                        Allan- This is actually the first time I used pastels in model building, had all sorts of problems on the finish but in the end hopefully turned fine for me.
                        Frosty- it's a Tamiya

                        Bean,

                        I'd love to see it, but all I've got is the dreaded "X-box".

                        Great job Bean. The netting looks great. I recently did the same kit and have to say it is one of the best kits I have done yet.

                        Good Job Bean!

                        I agree the Tamiya Leopard 2A5 practically falls together.

                        Mine is in midpaint. I intend to add it to the Faun.

                        Fantastic paint job, and the camo net is an excellent touch! I need to learn how to do camo net in 1/72 scale! Your kit has inspired me to look into how that may be done!

                        Great job, pare. The camo scheme and the add-on netting are really very good. The whole thing is just beautiful.

                        Thanks Eric, Dan, Duke, Dwight- I actually got the camo netting style from you guys. I just saw a photo of the Leopard with the camo netting on top and thought maybe it would be a great idea to try doing a camo net myself, so I did and hopefully turned out fine. Thanks for your commentsSmile [:)]Smile [:)]Smile [:)]
