Leopard 1 A4

Hi folks.

A couple of pics of my Tamiya Leopard 1 A4. 1/16 scale

Obtained it second hand, with a few bits missing ( MG 42 and wing mirrors etc ) and decided to do a few mods, as the original only was 2 channel ie forward / rearwards left / right.
It now has traversing turret and Diesel engine start up sound, working front and rear lights and rotating warning beacon.

I am in the process of making a barrell raise / lower mechanism and hopefully firing BB pellets. I have started to upgrade the wheels to ball bearing races instead of the plastic bushes, but its a rolling restoration.
