oho, Mister B is building a pimped Leopard...nice once chap! Always liked how the old Leo 1 and 2's looked (Leo1A5BE still on my wishlist). So cool to see one being built. Looking good alright ^^ Leo1A5BE is certainly on my hit list too Wouter, in the tri colour it would look soo cool!

I must admit, when I saw this in the Koninklijk Legermuseum in Brussels I instantly thought of making one Another reason to get back to Brussels I suppose

Marco, Ian, Boots, cheers indeed chaps . Ian, that regiment certainly carries a lot of history with it. I might even go for a Sherman in Italy from those lads soon Yes, indeed. And they had Easy Eights in Korea. I built one using the Star Decal sheet .

I was very close by in September, but next to that location is Autoworld and it was an exposition of 40 years of Quattro . Koblenz has a great rendition of the Leo 1 as well, cut in half, very interesting to see the internals like that

Maybe next year Wouts, we could meet up there with Guy too . Koblenz I must also revisit, just hope they can hold out long enough though. There was talk of the museum being closed as it isn't very topical anymore.

That would be a shame because the things on display there are gems, and the entrance fee was negligable...that would be truly very sad, hope the German government and military decide otherwise!

It's the stupid government that is saying these museum types are out of date. Even the tank museum in Münster was forced to shut down the area with all the uniforms and hand weapons .

Basically they are trying to cut out a certain pieces of history. Street names, memorials, museums... have been changed so that they do not show a connection to anything from Hindenburg to the Nazi regime. Even the old style German writing is no longer accepted, which means not only street names have been changed, but the street signs in the old script have been changed. I as a outsider, find bloody it ridiculous and have stated this often enough. I then get looked upon as some kind of weirdo who glorifies these things. I think I had better stop now, before this gets really deep and possibly breaking the the forum rules.

History is being changed before our eyes, gents. I agree with your points. But we can keep history alive----by buying and building more models!!!!!!!!!🤣🤣🤣
