Leopard 2A6 in ukraine rye field model 1/35

Hello, while working on the border tiger, the stug E100 and mengT90, I started this one. I got the ukrainian limited edition and plan to do a what if with kontakt 1 covering it like on the box art.

So far, the build is going good and I’m thinking of doing the base color using air brush.

I made some big progress for once on a build this week and took the opportunity to test my airbrush, it’s been a while since I haven’t used it, it worked, it didn’t clogged itself. I think part of the problem was that I didn’t diluted my paint before putting it in the cup.

Since there wasn’t enough ERA in the box, I had to order aftermarket

too bad Ukraine doesnt repaint their Leopard 2A6 overall green it be soo much easier to paint it with my airbrush ands compressor acting up painting camo is getting difficult

One can go for what if’s with the rye field kit tho I’m also waiting for the new release with T-80 wheels, the most annoying thing for me are the injection marks sinceI4d like to present an open turret.

More progress with the suspension, turret, sub assembly parts (storage I plan to open, the PE was a bit annoying and a lot of injection pins too). Annoying got difficulty placing the front ERA? I had some issues there personnaly.

I progressed on it this month with storage, smoke launchers and details added to the turret. I’m not sure of the colors I need to use for the armor and bags tho. i worked on the sprockets, sanded inejction marks.
