These have been painted a couple of weeks, but today I finally got around to taking some photos.
In my past few games of Seven Days to the River Rhine the Bundeswehr have been rather roughly handled, particularly due to the survivability of the Leopard 1A1s. I bit the bullet and added a platoon of Leopards 2's to give them a try out.
One thing to note is that they are probably too small, slightly, but noticeably smaller than the Timecast Leopard 1s where they should be a little bit bigger in all dimensions.
The models this time are from Red3, I rather liked the option of being able to add the tank commander and gunner sticking out of the turret.
As these are likely to be regular Bundeswehr rather than reservists I decided these should be in the more modern three colour scheme.
Nice! Yeah, let's see how the Bundewehr do in their next engagement.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jonathan, hopefully survivability will be balanced by lower numbers
DeleteNice mate, a nice addition to the collection

DeleteVery nice. I have both Leopards 1 and 2 in 1/87th scale. Leopard 2 is definitely the bigger cat.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pancerni, I'll just not deploy them side by side
DeleteExcellent work Paul!
