Robin (WhiteGlint)Cool project! Looking forward to the camo. 👍
I believe British tanks used them in Berlin around the end of the Cold War. I didn't know German Leopards used them too or at least the Bundeswehr tested the pattern.

Zsolt Czegle AuthorI found some photos (5 pcs) about this pattern. So I decided to paint it on this Leo. The British urban camo project is also coming this year.... 🙂

Patrick Hagelstein@ WhiteGlint, the Bundeswehr painted up at least one vehicle to test the feasibility during some of their training sessions at an urban part of their Truppenübungsplatz. The 1/35 Border Models kit comes with this set of markings too.
@ Zsolt, the older Matchbox/Revell kit is quite basic but with this PE cladding it definitely looks the part. Interesting to follow along. 👍

Zsolt Czegle AuthorThank you Patrick! This kit demands the upgrades and scratches!
I replaced the plastic handless with PE and cooper wire. The PE part was flat, so I decided to upgrade alsoit with cooper wire.

Tom B.That is some beautiful PE work there 🙂 Looking forward to the finished camo. If I am correct, we also have the option to do a Chally 2 in this pattern...

Zsolt Czegle AuthorThank you Tom!
The Challenger 2 with urban camo is also planed project for this year.

Robin (WhiteGlint)Great work so far. 👍
Looking forward to the paint.
@Patrick Hagelstein: Thanks for the information regarding the camo. Kind of late, sorry 😳

Zsolt Czegle AuthorThank you WhiteGlint!
Köszönöm Tibi, én is "sajnálom", hogy le kell festeni... 😄

Zsolt Czegle AuthorI forgot last time that the original vehicle has a DARKAS on the turret, so I had to scratbuild one before painting.

Zsolt Czegle AuthorThe base color and the first camo color (white) are airbrushed!

Robin (WhiteGlint)So much asking tape 😄
With all that metal, did you use some special primer?
21 March 2021, 19:24
Zsolt Czegle AuthorI used AK's acrylic primer. But before I washed the whole model with soapy water and let dry it.

Zsolt Czegle AuthorThank you WhiteGlint!
Meanwhile I faded the ta k with oil paints. It's now a little bit brighter, but the additional weathering will modify the tone.

NeulingI agree with WhiteGlint. This build could be presented as 1/35 scale model.
27 March 2021, 11:32
Zsolt Czegle AuthorTha little base for the Leo2 is painted. Still some vegetation are to be added

Bart GoesaertExcellent work.. lucky to be in for the final pictures... hoping to find that ET-set somewhere
12 April 2021, 06:27
Zsolt Czegle AuthorThank you Bart! If you won't find the ET PE set, try to build the new Border Model Kit. It doesn't need to upgrade,it could be an excellent OOB build.
12 April 2021, 06:40
Zsolt Czegle AuthorBart: I mean this one: Leopard 2A5/A6 (Border Model TK-7201, 1:72)
12 April 2021, 07:48
Łukasz GlińskiI think ET fret is distributed by Brengun/Hauler nowadays. Unfortunately they didn't re-release the A4 version 🙁
12 April 2021, 09:26
Zsolt Czegle AuthorŁukasz: Hauler has his own Leo2A4 set (HLH72082)
Danke schön Bernhard!

gorbyAmazing work! 😮
Incidentally, I've bought some 1/72 AFV kits.... and it's all your fault. 😉
14 April 2021, 15:09
Zsolt Czegle AuthorŁukasz: I'm happy to hear that
Gorbygould : I'm glad I'm going to make you do something like this.

Mirko RömerWhat a sight to behold! Congratulations! I'm so scared to build the pe turret baskets on my little Canadian... Your work here is just amazing!
14 April 2021, 18:14
Zsolt Czegle AuthorDanke schön Mirko! Es ist gar nicht so schwer die Basket zusammenzubauen. Du sollst einfach sehr vorsichtig sein! 🙂 Meine sind auch nich ganz perfekt!
15 April 2021, 04:00
Mirko RömerPuh, es hat geklappt! Auch wenn ich kurz davor war, auf die Revellkisten zurückzugreifen... Naja, Fummeln macht halt Spaß 🙂
17 April 2021, 15:20
Patrick HagelsteinBoah! Bin ich froh daß am Anfang PzBtl 33 ohne Staukörbe ins Gelände gefahren ist während Übungen und es davon schöne Bilder gibt. 😉

BenFirst of all - well done for such a basic kit! The Detail set really sets it to the next level, and your work to it is another step up!
In the picture of E.T. Models its shown that the detail up set has the chains for the smoke launcher, are those really included? Cause it seems like you havent used them/ or they werent there ..?
I'm doing some research for a future project and I want those little chains in 1:72 😅
22 January, 19:26
Zsolt Czegle AuthorThank you Ben for your comment for my old project from 2021! 🙂
The tiny chains for the smoke launchers cap are really there. I also used them, but they are glued only after the weathering process. Check out the last pictures! 😉

BenTime doesnt change an effort, or does it? 😁
Thanks for the quick answer! I dont know how I overlooked them in the last pics, now I've seen them! Time to get the E.T. kit for my next Border Model Leopard 2A5/A6 Kit in 1:72 😂 (I'm laughing because its going to be my 31th Leopard, since I've started with Model Kits at the age of 8, my 12th Leopard since I came back to the Hobby in 2021... and my 6th out of 9 in total Border Model Leopards then in 1:72 - cause I've got one finished in 1:35 from border too..) 🤣
