Leopard 1A1A1 - 7. PanzerAufklarungsBataillon

Next up are a pair of Leopard 1A1A1 from BF.  Nice kit with a couple of places to do some work.

The barrel is moulded fitted with the environment cap fitted to the muzzle which makes it seem a little chunky.  If you want to drill out you also need to sand down the outer barrel.



The other minor thing is that the turret has the mount for the white light searchlight on the wrong side.  You can blag it by using that to put on the PZB 200 LLTV and make a Leopard 1A1A2 but you still need to mount the searchlight on the LHS which needs two small pieces to be added.

PanzerMorser

The BF M113 PanzerMorser uses the M106 as its base. Unfortunately, the Top hatch is a two piece rectangular opening. So I carved the standard M113 hull and printed some new top hatch covers.  The mortar itself needs a little bit of work.  I am also looking at a better way of doing the headlights this time around to make them more repeatable as I have a couple of M113 variants to do for my West Germans
