...got a wee bit bored with the Harrier for the moment, so to keep things ticking over, I decided to do a bit of armour.
So it was the turn of my 1/35 Tamiya Leopard A4

What happened to the 1/24 scale Typhoon? I was looking forwards to that one...............:-))
By the way - that head gear with the light and magnifying glass is superb. Just what I needed in the winter to keep modelling going. O0
There's a couple of very minor issues...
1. The light is adjustable but has set positions...it would've been better if it was just free moving
2. The bit with the light on it and magnifying glass (the peak) slowly comes "loose" as you move it up and down with the eventual result that is slowly comes down on it's own. Tightening it up fixes it again...but if you are constantly moving the visor up and down, it'll need tightening again.
Both very minor issues and for the benefit this gives, not really worth worrying about.

lol - I'm not at the 1/24 scale yet and more importantly, it's a bit expensive for me. I saw Tamiya's 1/32 Mossie but at £120 it was way too much
Yeah, its a lovely model, and the fine detail is awesome, but it is rather pricey. Airfix do a 1/24 scale Mossie as well.

I've had one for years. Originally intended to use it for minis but I haven't really needed it thus far. If I keep at it, I'll probably go blind enough that I will, however.
That Leo kit looks quite nice. O0
It's fiddly. I suspect it's a fairly old kit a) because of the price and b) because of the fit
It's not a bad fit - it's just fiddly. Not as precise as some kits.
Almost done

I'm going to take a leaf out of this guys book and build it then paint it...
And I so want his shop and all those kits!

All made - mostly. Waiting on my Badger Primer so I can prime it and the tools. Then I'll weather and put the tools on and done.
Next I think is my Chieftain
Looks pretty bad ass in black!
It's actually dark green...but yeah...it does look badass
All primed and ready for a bit of painting
