At our most recent club meeting I came into possession of a partially completed Leopard 2 (A3-according to the instructions but A1 according to the decal sheet...) along with a couple of of RealModel engines. After pondering on what to do I've decided on something like this; ![](http://preview.ibb.co/k7SXbn/13ihmKD.png) A little bit of time tonight has got me to here; ![](http://preview.ibb.co/c8zTGn/IMG_20180414_222438.jpg) The turret was already made so getting the necessary gubbins into place will take a bit of fenageling

The engine is just tacked in currently to get a feel for things. Given its age it isn't too bad at all,dome areas will need some additional help e.g.the molded-on toots etc, but given the plan their absence shouldn't be a problem ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png)

hi Robbo. well I've tried tonight to box in the ammo stowage area. Not too difficult though I did end up with some gaps.Not going to worry to much about then as I should be able to fill those gaps with some gloop and aditional crud one the gubbins start to go in. ![](http://preview.ibb.co/jrkJHS/IMG_20180415_222610.jpg)

Welcome boys. I've been thinking.... ![8D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/insane.png) ... about converting this to a PA style build. Thoughts graciously welcomed: Turkish or PA ?

Suffering aserious bump in mojo lately, but did manage a bit last night. Less about accuracy and more about gizmology... ![](https://preview.ibb.co/b2dRso/IMG_20180609_113422.jpg) More gizmology later...

The overwhelming body of opinion is clearly for PA-good call Boots ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) With that in mind I invested in this: ![](https://preview.ibb.co/erip4d/IMG_20180613_075630.jpg)
