1/72 Leopard 1 A4 MBT "Peacemaker"

[Guest]

It's an Italeri 1/72nd scale Leopard 1 A4 MBT.


I made Brown & Sand Beige camo scheme for this Leopard, masking by using blu-tack. Spray the grill and exhaust by using Gaia Pure Black and Gunze Burnt Iron. That 2cm in length FN MAG painted by Sunin7's Gun Metal with Pure Black as base. I use TF141 & '竜' theme decals for this Leopard with left-over Shark mouth decals from RAF Typhoon cut into 3 pieces applied onto front left skirt, front right skirt and rear left mudflap.


For weathering/washing/filtering, I applied soft-pastel on grill & exhaust, Dark Ochre weathering pigment powder on rusty parts. Diorama planning done: on the street of somewhere in Middle-east, 4 soldiers and a tank commander observing/securing the street junction.

I gave a great build {which I rarely do} because of the scale {1/72} Your attention to detail is on the mark, plus your use of color is very artistic Would like to see some of your 1/35 scale work, I know others have viewed this, it's an enigma why no one has commented especially since you are new to the site and could use some encouragement I'm sure as do all of us. Well anyway great job and looking forward to seeing more of your work.............Cheers Jim
