History of the LEO!!!
The LEO is an enormously powerful tank-one of the best of his generation. This beautiful tank has a unique combination of firepower, armor and mobility.
1979 the LEO 2 had, as a successor to the LEO 1, his first appearance. More than 3200 units have been manufactured until now. Poland has taken over 124 Leos who were decommissioned from the German Armed Forces. In August 2005 Greece acquired 183 decommissioned LEO 2A4 and Turkey also took over 289 Leo 2A4 in November 2005.

Talent for sure - great camo work and patience required to brush the whole thing

[Panzerwolf]

Tell Damon he did an awesome job. The Leo looks extremely good for a first kit!

To me it is sometimes the same.
Sometimes it makes me crazy to paint all these small parts!!!

[ForbesHutton]

You know...

A coat of two of paint, a barrel glued and a couple of hatches glued on

and that hamster would look more like a 1/72 Maus.

He did a great job on his first kit ... you should be proud...

and what is that ? a giant Hamster??? are we under attack ??? RUN for your LIVEs.. they're gonna gnaw us to death ..

[HWGuderian23]

He did a very good job Kevin (like father, like son )! I've built this kit myself a while ago and putting those tracks together was a pain in the a.... But again ... excellent job .

Great work Damon

I still remember my first 'kit too. It was a Stuka from Revell...
Yes it makes him fun.When I realize that it's not just a phase, then I let him be a part of the great ISM family!!!!

Well done buddy. Brush painting is a skill that only a true master can do.
You're well on your way buddy.
I hope that you stick with it.

Moin!!!
Today I made with Damon a small base for his predator.
In the DIY we bought a mini canvas (under 1€) and some Iceland moss(1,50€).
At home we have mixed sand, wood glue, some water and a little green color. The paste was applied to the canvas and tank was placed in the wet mass. After everything was dried, my son has fixed the moss with wood glue.

Fini!!
