Here is what's left of my armour builds.  I'm missing a Tamiya Bulldog, that was donated to Mrs. Toshi's friends son.  I hope you enjoy these pics!

Thank's Gamera!  I did enjoy the change, it's a whole different genre of modeling.  I loved it.  I really liked how the Leopard turned out and shooting the tank in the wet terrain like that was just icing on the cake.  

I ran into two difficulties, one was I put the loaders hatch on backwards but I was able to fix that since I didn't cement it.  That was thank's to Phil_H! Second, there were these cables made of really soft plastic that I just couldn't work with so I left them out.  Just weird!  LOL!

That's quite alright, no big deal.  Thank you for your comment, especially in regards to the weathering.  I didn't know if it was enough or not.  I'm very glad you liked it!

Toshi,

Thank you sir, I'm most honored that you think so!  I have to agree with you as far as the cost benefit is concerned.  I was really lucky as Mrs. Toshi was able to catch this particular kit at 50% off from Hobby Town USA. Thank you for the read and reply!

Just curious, why do they call it "kampfpanzer" instead of "panzerkampfwagen"? Could it be to avoid the simmilarities with WW2 tanks?

I believe Kampfpanzer is now the term Germans use when reffering to tanks. I think it translats to Main Battle Tank. The term panzerkampfwagen is very broad and i guess because its also lnked so clodley with nazi Germany, not very PC.
