discussion Ian M's Leopard 2A6. Tamiya 1/35 Bobs GB2017

[Ian M]

Well all done. Dried and put away.
Paints are a mix of Model color and Model Air. The 'windows' with Humbol clear in red and green. All Weathered with Vallejo pigments, sprayed directly with Vallejo matt varnish thinned with airbrush thinners.
Hope you like it.
