Hobbyboss' VK1602 Leopard
Posted by panzer88 on Sunday, March 13, 2011 12:04 PM

Here's Hobbyboss' little paper panzer. No real issues other than the ones mentioned in the FSM workbench review. I used smoke dichargers left over from one of my DML tigers and added new antennaes from the spares as the kit ones looked too overscale. A fun little kit.

clean build and paint. What if you put the Flakpanzer V Coelian turret onto this hull? Idea

that would look interesting

Really nice finish on this little guy. I really like the weathering.

Saw this reviewed in FSM.  Great job!  Particulary like the ambush camo scheme.  It would look nice with my Panzer II Luchs.

Nice work on the paper panzer. It's got that "mini panther" look to it and the combo of the Puma turret with the cut-down hull gives it a menacing look. Beer

Wow, another sweet build! Toast

Any idea what the purpose of these was supposed to be? I can see how using the same manufacturing processes as a Panther would cut down on design and manufacturing costs, but why use a 50mm gun? What would that have been effective against that late in the war?

They look real good to me......'ya done a good job on the paint and weathering.

Now as far as the design goes, they look like cheap little knock-offs.
