Progress on the Leo.
Grouser blocks have been fixed on the glacis
Smoke launchers, commo wire spool and other bit added to the turret
Also ended up with an aftermarket barrel from Leopard Workshop. Not sure how happy I am with this one. There are some casting issues and the fit is a little dodgy. There’s a pronounced droop to the barrel when it’s all together. Such is life with niche short run kits however. I’ll see if I can live with it or if I stick with the supplied option which has a couple of great bloody seams to contend with.
Special thanks to @recceboy and @Jason_Bobrowich for their help. That DVD is spectacular and you’ve put me onto a new source for Canadian aftermarket goodies.
@Jason_Bobrowich, I have some questions about markings if you don’t mind.
I don’t know what your vintage is, but do you have any knowledge of the big number decals used on EX in Germany?
In the photos I’ve seen they look vinyl and either self adhesive or stuck on with gun tape.
Also, other than the maple leaf and call sign, would the early C1s have carried any other markings? Tac signs, unit identifiers etc?
Thanks in advance.
