This is the 1/35 Tamiya Leopard. another great kit and one I also enjoyed building. The only problem area was the front armour plating, it seemed a bit warped and needed to be clamped down and finished with some putty. I scratch built the 2 canisters at the rear of the turret as they weren't worth using. The barrel was not the best fit and needed alot of putty and sanding to get a reasonable finish. Paints were all Tamiya acrylic, starting with an overall flat black, with the olive green final colour. I washed it with some oil paints, and finished with a light dusting of earth powders. The tracks were painted firstly in steel, then red brown, got a light sanding to expose some of the underneath steel and then washed with thinned down rust (testors). Let me know if it was too much. All comments welcome.
