Im back to working on my Tamiya Leopard 1 tanks. The chassis in the middle is brand new old stock New In Box. It is the static version that has emty transmissions with just shafts to hold the sprockets in place. It now has an ETO trany I asked Bob to custom make for me when I thought that would be the only Leopard 1 I was going to build.
Here I am with one completed and 3 on the bench and a hoooooooben 1a5 on the way.... I like NATO tanks I guess.
The other two chassis will get Taigen tranys soon I think once I make more custom mounts from my jig I made up.
I dread getting to the point I need to make the shock absorbers with springs in them like I did my first build, the 1A7 modernized build. It needed two on each rear and one one each front to help support the additional weight of the newer tranys. Thats 6 per tank 18 total..... sigh..... Slowly getting there.
