Meng Leopard C1 - DONE!

It’s a tank!

Base coat is on. Primed with Mr. Surfacer. Painted with AK Real Colours Gelboliv (late) with Tamiya Buff for the highlight coat.

Highlight are probably a little too subtle. Everything I’ve read and all my reference photos seem to show the Gelboliv being pretty bomb proof. Given that and that this tank is supposed to be reasonably new, I don’t see a lot of fading being present.

A few construction issues that I totally missed on the primer coat are now glaringly apparent with the green on. Debating how much work it will be to fix and repaint vs ignore. Will probably fix though.

Also sacrificed a travel lock for the commander’s MG to the carpet monster.
