And keep going with armor what ifs, this one I´ve been building simultaneously with the other ones, so I´ll show you part of the painting process and the almost final result....

and this is the final result....decided to put colored roundels to identify the kits, because I think gave them some real "style" and looks more belonging to the country than low viz ones.....in fact, if you check pics from Austrian Army Leopard 2, they have the white triangle over red....kept some of the german decals and added some numbers tipically chilean, as is seen in the current fleet of ex dutch Leo 1V´s currently in service. The id numbers are decal leftovers, similar to the ones currently used in M41 light tanks stationed near Santiago

yet to do lots of detailing and place the figure, soon it´ll be done

hope you like it and comments always welcome

Dexter, you're a one-man armor factory! That Leopard is great and I agree with putting the national markings on it! A splash of color is a treat on AFVs!
