discussion Nick's oo scale Leopard Tank - Paul T's vintage Airfix Group Build

[Nicko]

This was a relatively straightforward build of the old Airfix Leopard 1. Aside from some decal trouble which haunted me to the end with some rather nasty silvering I'm satisfied with this one. Main paint is Tamiya Nato Green. Thanks to Paul T for getting the group build together otherwise this one might have lingered longer in the stash than the forty years plus that it had spent there already. Here are the pics:











And of course the 'for scale' shot.........



Thanks to all who followed along.

That's a little beauty. There's a real sense of achievement building up an old kit into something to be proud of.

I didn’t realise it was that small until I saw the photo with the paint pot. Very nice work indeed Nick.

Nice work, I remember building that one as a kid, bought from Woolworths when stopping at my grandparents in the summer holidays

Thanks Guys. Can't remember when or where I bought this one, but it's been in my possession since sometime in the 1970s...
