Other way 'round. The Leopard was a result of what was learned from the joint effort of the German KPz 70 and the American MBT-70 program.



But it DOES look good, huh?

I can write a book that'll curl every ones toes on that health crap.

Thanks Jeff! I like it!

It's a tank I use in armoured warfare.

First of all.... Make me some Tulip launchers would ya! I can't seem to get around to it after about 7 years!

Second the secret to practicing acrylic camo is dull coat and windex. Get your base color the way you want... seal it. Use acrylics for you camo colors and if you fail you can us windex and get right back to your last sealed coat. Practice on a junker!

Hi! I am new here.

For me, I am trying to start E100 project. NEver done anything of such a size before and I am a beginner. But I just love to DIY.

I am not sure I would recommend a E-100 for a beginner. I have been working on one for at least two years and it still is not done. It is quite a intensive project to convert a Juckenburg kit and Ludwigs doesn't have all the parts you need so it will require a ton of scratch building. Good luck either way!

Hi Thanks for the advice. I intend to take it slowly and build up my skills as I progress. But any advice would be great! This is because E100 and King Tiger are my favourite tanks!! I already have a HL King Tiger. There is no E100 available so only way is to build my own. Btw, is the Ludwigs kit enough? I intend to get everything I need from him. But the wheels and tracks prices are really madness!!

Currently my interest is cold war and modern RC IR fighting tanks. I have two keeper models that are works in progress. A Type 10 kit and the Leopard 1, both deserved study and developing a list of modifications to make them serviceable, durable and better all around performers.

1. Still in the box, Tamiya Type 10 IR fighting purposed planned modifications: Hinged upper deck, relocate the battery to the hull, add a metal battery tray in hull bottom, beef up the plastic areas, add wheel bearings, install the AFV fine adjustable idler system and install Carson's excellent metal primary transmission gears.

2. On the bench, a Tamiya Leopard 1A4 static to full option IR conversion: Daryl Turner designed and fabricated turret recoil and elevation system, hinged upper deck, add metal hull sponsons, beefed up plastic areas, add wheel bearings with metal cap screw axels, install the HennTec idler system and ETO Black Long Can Motors.
