Photos Ukrainian Leopard 1A5 Revell 1/35 What If

[Milan Mynar]

Some time ago, news appeared in the press about the delivery of Leopard 1A5 tanks to Ukraine. These tanks are stored in warehouses, it will take some time before they are put into operation. I believe that the final fine-tuning will take place in the field workshops in Ukraine. The armor will be reinforced with reactive armor Contact 1. This brings me to another project, I bought a model from Revell and get to work.
The kit looks to be of high quality and easy to assemble.

I start building of this kit, so far I'm happy with the kit and I'm full of enthusiasm.

 

[Milan Mynar]

I slowly continue to building of the model, so far I'm excited about the kit. Burnout syndrome will come at the stage of finishing the model.

Soooo many mounting points for brackets and attachments etc. This is why I only do 1/100th...

It's all coming together nicely.

Further progress in building the model. I will have to order the Contact-1 reactive armor bricks.

 

[Milan Mynar]

I ordered and within a day the "bricks" were at home, to be sure I bought three sets.

Any thoughts about using a 3d printer to make them for the future?

 

[Milan Mynar]

Unfortunately, I don't have a 3D printer and I can't use it. But it's a good idea.

Bricks of reactive armor glued to the surface. I was inspired by photos of different vehicles.

The ERA blocks add realism to your model. I like them!

What a good job of masking and painting, my congratulations, I have a Leopard 1A5 but Colombian, another "what if" in 1/72

 

[TheKiwi]

Wasn't Colombia looking at the Merkava for MBTs?

 

[TIGREDELAIRE]

unfortunately neither Leopard nor Merkava nor Abrams, we are left with the 6x6
