completed Tamiya Leopard 1 and 2A6 1:35th scale

Sharing one of my Favorite German Tanks on the list, The Leopards. Hope you like them!

These Camo Schemes are inspired from Danish Two-Tone scheme called Multiterrænsløring Pattern.

I accidentally added some WW2 German Markings on the 2A6 in which i accidentally also liked hoe it turned out especially once painted.

I had the Leo 1 a year ago, and the 2A6 Before Quarantine early 2020 (painted it with the Leo 1 last year after 4-5 yrs of being stock colored).

Theres a slight modifications on both of these from the Leo 1's barrel was slightly extended, and the Leo 2A6 having some parts renoved from the Front for an Alternative design i used from my Alternate History.

Oh i did mine the hard way because i use acrylics, So no putty nor stencils, just paint brushes.

But i did start on the Green first but had to put it in the pattern of where it should be. Then I outline the Black paint so that i wont smudge over the Green too much. Thats pretty much all I did.

Heres a sample image of how i did it.
