Ulf PetersenGreat model, Pablo!👍
Does "What-If" mean that the Chilean Army does not have Leopards in Service or do you just mean the camo scheme?

Pablo FigueroaThanks for the comments!
Ulf, great question. Let me explain:
Actually, the Chilean Army has Leopard 2A4 (this exact model, with some minor internal modifications) in service, but they operate in the northern region of the country. They entered service in 2007, replacing the Leopard 1. A pic is here [img1]
My model differs from the "official Chilean Leopard 2", because the camouflage i used in it belongs to an AMX-30, that was in service with the Chilean Army in the southern region, but phased out of service in the 90.

Album info
This is my model No. 8 of 2015. A Leopard 2A4 version in a "what if" scheme. This camouflage was used by Shermans and AMX-30 of the Chilean Army in the region of Punta Arenas.
The model is the Leopard 2A4 Hobbyboss in 1/35 scale, armed with photo-etch from the box and resins purchased from a local supplier.
The numerals come from a Tornado kit. It was painted with Humbrol enamels. Weathering was Done with products of AMMO MiG Jimenez and enamels.
