Hi ppl. While i was away (again) from the forum and modelling in general due to, well every day life and obligations, i did get a night on the bench. I started the old Hobby Boss Leo 2A4 in Hellenic service. Still needs a lot of work, but at least i did get to start building a kit....

Nice one John I've always thought the leopard 2 A4 looks smart in Greek colours.

Jolly good choice for the next build John . I'm considering doing a 1A5 later this year, might need a tip or two for the camo

I have the old school Revell/Italeri kit, which has just re-released from Italeri with Greek markings.

Excellent, John! I always thought the camo on the Greek Leopards looked really good.

Thanks for tagging along guys. While i am waiting for the RR lights to dry, i applied some primer and a pre shade. If all goes well it will be painted today. The difficult part is getting the right mix for the colours, especially for the reddish brown. It tends to look a lot different depending on the light.
