Building Leopard 2A6 model tank - Revell 1/35 scale

[ThibautVDP]

i have a 1:72 model of the same tank. i wish i had this size though. it's really cool.

[TankNutDave]

@ThibautVDP i have this exact model kit for sale left over from old online shop, if you have a paypal account you can buy it as 1:35 scale if you want it :)

[Gymmot87]

you must paint this step by step while buiding

[OR1G1NALK1LLER14]

Hey Dave , I'm starting to get better at modeling and now I started to wonder is it better to paint as u go or paint it all after?

[TankNutDave]

@OR1G1NALK1LLER14 I airbrush and paint my models when I have built them, the reason being paint can re-act to the glue if wet and drying, so gets messy. Its just far simpler, less messy and quicker to do it my way. Plus if you airbrush a model over glued on zimmering parts and fragile parts it acts like a bonding process if that makes sense? :)

[OR1G1NALK1LLER14]

@TankNutDave ok thank you ..... how much is a airbrush

[glaves666]

it looks like fresh from factory, destroy Him little .. :)



[TankNutDave]

@glaves666 thats what dust if for lol, with all due respect, the video is about building and painting the model as per the instructions. Weathering and chipping him isnt in the instructions and is a personnel thing, hence why I leave it out of the video :) Thanks for the comment.

[zalanstyle]

it is metalic or plastic?:d



[TankNutDave]

@zalanstyle plastic

[trouble1993]

5:01 wtf is that chimney thing?

[TankNutDave]

@trouble1993 Its the commanders tower which they errect on his cupola when the Leo2 is swimming. He stands in it so he can see whats happening and direct the driver to land.

[Mourrison90]

4:30 This is what you make of the net was at that model?

[hydroblast9]

i really want to get one of those

[TheDanyy11]

so did u air brush every part? or paint them with a paint brush?

[Froph27]

yeah! man! nice work!

[Pwn3rProductions]

Yeah....give name of song :)

[simis089]

song ?



[Pwn3rProductions]

@simis089 Pendulum - Slam

[SwissCheese707]

@simis089 Apple ?

see you are just speaking random words. Try using entire sentences such as, "What is the song playing in this video?" Note proper punctuation, grammar, and spelling.

this has been "How to not sound sound like a retard with tourettes when speaking."

I'm your host, Swisscheese707 saying, goodnight America.

[fjcaron]

Some folks say this kit is crap, but looks great to me, Hobby Boss also makes some nice Leopard offerings, such as the Spanish, Danish, Canadian and Swedish versions.

[outthealley]

you painted everything first right?

[TankNutDave]

@outthealley no, i airbrush the model when Ive built it.

[ghost4340]

King Tank



[tommey9]

[TankNutDave]

@tommey9 Did you watch the whole video? its nato paint scheme at end

[tommey9]

[TankNutDave]

[jiska111111111111111]

[TankNutDave]

@jiska111111111111111 !:35 is better get more detail and takes longer to build so you get your monies worth :p got this kit for sale in my shop, follow the above link :)

[dodoslovensko]

[WorldPeaceWithWar]

can you buy a model pre built from your website?

[TankNutDave]

@WorldPeaceWithWar which model were you thinking off?

[WorldPeaceWithWar]

@TankNutDave I was thinking the cheiftan

[murderdoll9191]

Is revell better then Tamiya?

[gioblaze017]

the tamiya kit is better however that is just my personal opinion

[ModelbuildingTANKS]

@murderdoll9191 Sadly no.

[Vercetti777]

were can i buy reveli version?

[TankNutDave]

you can buy it from my model shop, just follow the link above, go to shops and you will find the modelshop in that list, i have one in stock :-)

[Vercetti777]

thx dude =D

[Vercetti777]

thx dude & can you send it overseas?

[TheBigTittyTwister]

The Leopard 2 A6 by Revell is a pretty good model but in my opinion the Tamiya Model is a much better choice although it's more expensive...

And if you want buy a Tamiya-Leo2 so don't choose the A6! Take the A5 (it's much cheaper!). So you can buy a turned barrel, photo etched parts and/or working tracks with the rest of your money. ;-)

[MusicforHISMission]

Hey Dave, your a TankNut :) Next to the King Tiger, the Leopard is my favorite tank. Gotta love those Brits. :)

[TankNutDave]

sorry mate, whats the question? :-)

[SaberTanker22]

what i was saying i using nato tri colors and not the tamiya colors for the leopard tank will they still do the trick . going for realism.

[999boom777]

how much is it?

[TankNutDave]

Depends where you buy it, its currently for sale in my online store at my site :-)

[krigertom]

but did the netts for the baskest in the back come whit the kit?

[TankNutDave]

[TankNutDave]

Yes, I did this model in Tamiya Nato Paints, details of the paint codes are on my site. The commanders can be left opened, however I havent glued mine on so that I can put the commanders wading tunnel on. The tracks are rubber, but come in 2 parts either side to join together, there are more pics etc on my site for it.

[krigertom]

[TankNutDave]

Couple of evenings, its an easy kit and you can buy it on my site shop :-)

[Itachi18x]

do you build fighters like f22,eurofighter etc. too?

[TankNutDave]

nope, only tanks and land AFV's

[nghnino]

Probably the best and most hi-tech state of the art tank ever built, The Leopard, using Computers and German Expierience as basis of Design

[need1992]

where to buy?

[TankNutDave]

You can buy it from my site. The link to it is on my youtube account page. Then go to the tank menu, scroll down to the leopard 2 A6, click on it, then 'check out the model' and down the sides of the pictures of my model you can buy the this tank direct form that page :-)

[damba4444]

can you make a video not just photographs i mean actually see you building

[TankNutDave]

I have done a couple and they are in my account page :-) trouble is the time it can take to make some models, you got to buy all the DV videos, transfer them to dvd etc etc its a long process :-)

[BattlefieldMyCompany]

is that german version?

Thats our main tank in finland too, one of the best tanks in the world ;)

nice video!! 5/5

[Smikefliege]

[alexw351]
