God Evening,
My build for the 60er GB.
A convertet T-62 Tank as a West German Leopard for Target representation. In NVA Service.
As Base the Tamiya Kit
I make today the uper Hull with new Wells from Miniart and began the Sideskirts.

Nice to see that kit being used as something other than what it was supposed to be as it isn't accurate as a T-62. Not sure I will get any further with the part corrected one I have somewhere in the stash or if I will find a more up-to-date and accurate one.

Alistair I'm pretty sure that Trumpeters family of T-62 kits are a good representation of the tank.
Trumpeter also had quite a few versions to choose from and they nice to build.. had a few..wouldn't mind more 😏
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Funny you should mention that.  The Australian Army went the other way, converting a Leopard to represent a T-54/54 MBT to act as a target identification vehicle.
