Pascal Van Acker@ Andreas. I used the conversion kit from Legend Productions and used the copper wire.

Pascal Van AckerGluing, and it was my first experience! It was not easy, I even bought UV glue to get the parts together faster. Then I could hold it while my wife hardened the glue with the UV light. It was my 5th model after a 35-year break.

Andreas LottPerfect work, perfect scene. It looks like reality. I have this conversion also, but at the moment the project stopped cause of this storage basket. I hope I'll find soon an solution!

Pascal Van Acker@ Andreas I think with the tools I am using now, it would be less difficult. I don't know many people who want to make a BE version of the Leopard. But I am getting the impression that you will make a UKR version of it considering BE supplied UKR with it.

Andreas LottI didn't know, that the 1A5 BE served in the ukraine. I would like to build the belgian version. I am not interested in war at all. What are your tools now?

Pascal Van Acker@Andreas I use various tools from DSPIAE to bend PE, cut circles, among other things. As well as the rolling set from AK. With these I can give a rounding to my copper wire or PE elements etc. At the time I built the Leopard, I barely had a cutter, tweezers and an airbrush from 35 years earlier. I also make my own tools according to what I want to make. Good advice I can give. Buy floral wire of different diameters from 0.4 to 1.8 mm. This is stiffer than copper wire. You can make antennas, cables, etc. with it. And it is dirt cheap.

Andreas LottSounds very time intensive only for the basket. But, really wonderful! Thanks for your advice.
