This tank was built by my Dad many years ago. Tank was well used as a boy and has suffered from lost small body parts over the years.
Shots on the snow are before I managed to hunt down all the missing parts. Shots on the grass show it after I have fitted new mirrors, all missing door handles, smoke launchers and frames, top of radar and towing hooks at front and top of tank.
The Metal mirrors and metal tow hooks at top of tank came from AFV Models (Axel there is a great guy and helped me loads). Also got top of radar from AFV and Axel gave me a few original smoke launchers that he had spare (Superb - thanks Axel).
Dad did a pretty good paint job which I havent touched. I've also put on an original set of Decals that took me 2 years to hunt down on e-bay. Missing handles and front tow hooks I've obtained from the Leopard 1/16 static kit re-re that I got a few trees from JC-RC.
Dare not run this just in case some more parts fall off!
Hope you like.

That's a lovely tank, and hard to find in such good condition. Nice to keep it in the family as well

This tank is going nowhere - my 7 year old has his eye on it but he and his 4 year old brother have both got Heng Long variant to keep them happy for a few years. Thanks for your nice comments - I'm really pleased to get it back to such a complete and working condition.
