Leopard 2A6 complete
 
She's finally finished! Minus decals and cables.
Did decals come w/ the kit? Can't find 'em. Where to buy?
The black isn't very dark. Too much thinner maybe?
She has metal suspension arms, bearings and metal idler arms.

Nice.   It's a fun tank.<div>

Great Leo2, I think the paint job looks great. Black could be a little darker. Decals do come with the kit and you could probably find them on E-bay. You making that beast German or Canadian?

How do you get the NATO black #69 darker?

I might try adding a bit of flat black to it. This should work fine.

Tamiya XF1 (Flat black) looks lighter than XF69 when comparing on Tamiya's site. ??

Well, I have the nato colors here and the flat black. Comparing them side by side, flat black looks darker, IMO.

I had the same thing with my Vallejo equivalent paints. I ended up adding some flat black and respraying the black part of the camo. The ak interactive filter also helped bring everything together.

Thanks. I'll give the flat black a try.
