Australian Army Leopard II ("what-if")


Recommended Posts

G'day everyone. This is the Italeri 1/35 Leopard II kit, which I have built as an Australian Army "what-if".

The Leopard II had been seriously considered as a replacement for our aging Leopard AS1's (along with the Challenger II) prior to the government finally deciding on the Abrams M1A1 back in 2004.

It was built OOB and I used Echelon decals and Mouse House Auscam paints and water jerries. The kit went together pretty well - the only issue I had was with the tracks, which are a little thick. As this was really only ever intended to be a "fun" build I didn't bother looking for any after market tracks etc.

The camo scheme is loosely based on the German Army scheme, which I thought looked pretty good.

Thanks for looking.
