Hello everyone, am looking at chasing down the rfm leopard 2 can version,i did sell the meng leopard 2A7 and trumpeter faun SLT after building there king tiger,which i regret but money was tight at the time.
I love the post war stuff from germany.
My question is without spending nearly 60 squid on the resin barracuda set up,what would you suggest,i did think about the AK cam net or trying a cheesecloth and paper towel aproach.
Bit clueless tbh

Yes,thats the one,looks like a good kit,are there any decent scale cam nets for something like this that anyone knows of.

 

[Ian M]

Just google Camouflage net 1/35 there are more results than you can shake a stick at.
Nice down in Dawlish. Are they finished with the new sea wall?

Hello John,
The Barracuda cam net can be obtained from 'Arkebuza Model Art | Nr. AR35010 | 1:35'. It can be painted with acrylics (dipped in a spray can top) and then once dry, crushed to break up the stiffness and then cut to shape and one edge glued with c/a and then stretched and the edge again c/a'd. The method I use can be found on my old Challenger build. Here is my Leopard built some time ago.

Mike.
