Main Battle Tank "Leopard" 2A6

My friend Stephan Köster had bought the Tamiya RC-model of the "Leopard" 2A6 in 1/16 scale. As he was more interested in the technical possibilities of action modelling he asked me if I was willing to apply some paint to his model. I was a bit sceptical at first as I did not have any experience in painting modern military vehicles. But then I took the opportunity to for the first time create a tank which ones condition is not caused by the abusements of warfare but by permanent maintenance and even cleaning up in times of peace.

Here you will find more images of the "Leopard" 2A6.

A detailed descrition of the painting techniques will hopefully be published in the July issueof the German "Kit Militär-Modell Journal".
