Ingo FWelcome on board guys.
Right now i got mixed feelings with this kit. The details are very nice but you have much flesh and moulding seams. Remind me of some kind of old Revell kits. 🙁

Ingo FThe hull is almost finished, only the tracks are missing. Had some minor issues alog the build and something does not feel right with this build. Decided to put it on hold for a while. 🙁

Eric RENOUXDid this kit 3 years ago. It can be improved by many ways, but it is also good build strait from the box. You are making a good job with this one.

Ingo FThank you Eric and Murad. 🙂
@Murad the popcorn have to wait for a little bit longer as i put this on hold for a while. 🙂

Ingo FThank you Murad. My first impression on them was: "Oh god not again."
But they were very easy to bend. Only had to cut off the upper part to fit them to the handles.

Spanjaardpadlocks are one of those details that look simply amazing... but i think i would have probably added them after the model is painted and weathered.

Ingo FNot sure myself as i have never added padlocks to my builds. Will try it out this way. If something goes wrong will add them after the build for the next time i use them.

Ingo FFinished the build. Added only a few pieces of stowage as the real tanks also have not much on them.

Ingo FPainting is done and ready for weathering. Paintig process as always. Black and white at the beginning. NATO Green was used for base color and highlightning with NATO green and a little bit white. Post-shading with Tamiya XF-65 field grey. I took the pictures in the evening with artificial light so the color variation is hard to see. Will post some better pictures tomorrow.
Right now i am not sure how to weather it. Maybe i should go with light weathering like a NATO filter first then buff wash and sand pigments to the lower hull and side skirts. 🤔
Dont want to go with a heavy weathering like on some pictures of the Leo where the whole lower hull is covered with sand and dust. Looks like the tank is painted in sand yellow then green. 😄
