Leopard 2A5 Kosovo -finished-

Modeling Subjects Armor
1

Before everything else I would like to thank all of you guys in the FSM Forum for being great help and inspiration to me even if I was just here for a short time. Here’s my first finished submission.
-Leopard2A5-, I added the camo netting on top and a bit more dirt on the side skirts. This hopefully makes the mobile outpost version they used in Kosovo, minus the " /\ " emblem. The camo net was made using shredded toilet paper sprinkled on a white glue drenched netting then sprayed with Tamiya’s field grey and olive drab.

Thanks guys,
Obiwan, J-hulk,
Sentry,
Sgt. jj- The reference photo I got for this tank was dated sometime in 2000.
Chris,
Allan- This is actually the first time I used pastels in model building, had all sorts of problems on the finish but in the end hopefully turned fine for me.
Frosty- it’s a Tamiya

Bean,

I’d love to see it, but all I’ve got is the dreaded “X-box”.

Great job Bean. The netting looks great. I recently did the same kit and have to say it is one of the best kits I have done yet.

Very nice work Beans !!!

Really like the camo net work.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Thanks for the link!!!

Good Job Bean!

I agree the Tamiya Leopard 2A5 practically falls together.

Mine is in midpaint. I intend to add it to the Faun.

Thanks for linking Lizard, I also must say this is one of the best kits I have ever come across thus far. Regarding fit and accuracy, I really enjoyed building this one
Thanks Shermanfreak and
Latch- I’m looking forward to seeing yours done.[:D]

Fantastic paint job, and the camo net is an excellent touch! I need to learn how to do camo net in 1/72 scale! Your kit has inspired me to look into how that may be done!
