i built that and  will be starting the 1/35 trumpeter after i finish the low side gondola. i still haven't decided but am leaning toward a '45 build in a 3 color camo and no name. i have not seen a pic of the 3 color scheme but logic dictates it is feasible. if not i'll go with a '39 gray and brown.

i have the hobbyboss 1/72 K-5 and DORA and KARL in the stash too as well as some books.

we have a RR group build going and so consider posting there also. the hasagawa doesn't have a breech block so you have to fill in  the hole in the breech.

Here's a nice site with a lot of information: www.one35th.com/.../k5_index.html .

I also spoke via email with the curator of the (then) Aberdeen Ordance Museum in Maryland concerning the painting scheme.  I'm currently working on my second Leopold.  I finished the Dragon version and I'm working on the Trumpeteer version now.

I have begun to build the 1/72 Leopold by Hasegawa. I am looking for information on detail painting. Any help is welcomed
