Beautiful twin 23s, Si! Would look great parked on an MTLB deck.

Managed to make a bit of progress with both parts. The Zu has been painted and weathered and with some careful masking the Mt-LB has now got a camo scheme. This is what I was aiming at….. for discussion purposes ![](https://i.ibb.co/88QZ0w5/B36788-E9-79-C6-4386-96-C9-8-A4-BF535-B6-AC.jpg) It’s a scheme the Ukrainian Azov battalion use and I have some decals to go with it which I’m waiting on. The Zu will require a tweak to get it to sit nicely but you get the idea….. ![](https://i.ibb.co/jL5Zk6j/419906-D0-CF1-D-4-E54-866-C-6-B50238-BC603.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/g9Shw6s/C68-A578-C-E7-A7-489-E-BCCF-18-C15-E9-F8-D03.jpg)

Got a few ideas where I’m going with this so hoping to roll out a few updates as I go ![](https://www.allsmileys.com/files/emoji/e056.png)

Looks to me like you have cracked that camo Si, it's perfect in my eye ![](http://www.allsmileys.com/files/smiley-central-emotions/5186.gif) Does this mean I have finally found a camouflage opponent ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) ?

Really pleased that the camo passes muster with you chaps Paul….I do like a unusual paint scheme, not sure I could pull off the scheme you did on your recent Leopard II though!

Not 1 but 2 Leo 2’s on the bench! Mengs 2A7 and Trumpy’s new 2A4. The Meng version having far crisper details. ![](https://i.ibb.co/jvTH15p/IMG-0287.jpg)

There is a big difference in detail. How were they price wise, Si?

There is a big difference in detail. How were they price wise, Si? The Meng A7 was £17 including postage and the Trumpeter A4 was £24 including postage. I took a punt on the Trumpeter A4 as I couldn’t find any reviews but was certainly expecting better to be honest.

Both kits finished now so took a couple of pictures before paint. First the Meng 2A7. A good kit with some crisp detail and reasonable looking tracks. Would of liked to of seen PE engine deck screens, but all in all not bad at all. ![](https://i.ibb.co/0hBPL4T/IMG-0293.jpg)
![](https://i.ibb.co/1TKgFJD/IMG-0294.jpg)
And then Trumpys A4. To be fair not a terrible kit, a lot less parts but feel it could have come with better detail on the tracks and maybe a bit of PE for the engine deck screens for the price. Generally not as crisp as Meng on the comparable details but overall it looks alright. ![](https://i.ibb.co/HgFjZ4d/IMG-0290.jpg)
