LEOPARD 2A6 - the most powerful and deadly machine in the world, part 1/4, 1/35 scale

The Leopard 2 is one of the most famous modern tanks. It is used by armies around the world.
Although she did not take part in too many fire operations, she still arouses admiration.
Admittedly, her appearance is an eyecatcher, regardless of the version. It is the same when we look at 2A4, 2A5 or 2A6 versions.
There is quite a large selection of models in the 1/35 scale, but at the moment Border (BT002) is the best model available on the market. It's not perfect, but in my opinion it's the best copy of the original.
Is the Leopard the best tank?
Is the Leopard better than Abrams?
Is the leopard in Ukraine?
No, I won't answer those questions, but I'll show you how to build an awesome looking model of this vehicle! :)
In this series I would like to present my Leopard 2A6 in standard Nato camo with extra camouflage and coat of heavy weathering (dust, dry mud, fresh mud). There is also presented how to prepare the camo net typical for Bundswehr Leopards 2.
Let's build the most powerful and deadly machine in the world!!!

Hello from Utah.

Hello Greg! :)

[@paulhargreaves1497]

Damn! That turret is bigger than most WW2 tanks!

[@coldemonspl]

Indeed :)

[@runegustavsson9134]

Those type of working tracks that takes like eight or more hour to build, suck the fun out of this hobby. At least for me. Personally I would take a rubber band style track to these tanks where most of the tracks are hidden behind armour skirts.

[@coldemonspl]

Yeah, you have right! I dont like to build them but the disadvantage of rubber tracks is their quality :)

[@danakrause5031]

I really enjoyed this build video. Especially like the pics of the damage on the tires etc. I like seeing where you get the inspiration for all of the little details on your builds.

[@coldemonspl]

Border makes some very good kits. I plan on buying their T-34/85 soon to be released. The British Crusader is another of their kits I want to build. Look forward to seeing the Leopard completed

[@coldemonspl]

I built some kits from them in the past and they are quite nice indeed! :)

Dzięki. Już za tydzień :)

[@mareksleczka]

Świetny! Jedyne co mnie męczy w tym zestawie to gąsienice 😅 Kapitalna szybka robota w Twoim wydaniu 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@coldemonspl]

Fakt, gąski sa najsłabszym elementem tego modelu. Reszta jest OK :)

[@mareksleczka]

@@coldemonspl dzięki za opinię o tych gąskach. Reszta fajnie się skleja. Border bardzo mi przypadł do gustu porównując z Tamiya czy Meng.

[@Th.M.]

So happy to see you corrected the barrel orientation by 180*. Are there any items you don’t glue with the ModelersWorld glue?

[@coldemonspl]

Well, I used AK and MW glue. It depends on situation and parts I need to glue :)

[@madhatterstudios966]

nice build! Not normally into tanks but this is cool. Just out of interest, where did you get that tool to shape the hand rails from? Never seen anything like it before

[@coldemonspl]

Thank you! This tool is Hhandle bending tool! :) I used 2 - one no name and the second is from RP Toolz.

[@kacperg5880]

Im was waiting for this Tank, but why not Polish a5? Why? My heart is bleading :D

[@coldemonspl]

Maybe next time :) Jak wyjdzie wersja PL to bez wątpienia taką zrobię. Póki co jest niemiecki :)

[@JazzJaRa]

The markings on the Smoke dischargers are on every Leopard 2, however they sometimes get overpainted in the depot or just get lost. I build a Leopard 2A5 from Tamiya in the markings of my old Unit. ^_^ So if you need some informations let me know. Just a little detail, no idea if you want to add it to the model (i did on mine) at the back of the Hull next to the rear camera is a small wire with a little ball on top which helps the Commander to see the rear of the tank. I used a small bit of guitar string and a piece of spuce for it.

[@coldemonspl]

Jazzy, thx for your comment and explanation about the numbers. And I added the little wire after all - just before the final pictures, but with no ball on the end :):):)

[@JazzJaRa]

@@coldemonspl no problem, nice build so far. You should at some point show what models you actually kept for yourself :)

[@coldemonspl]

@@JazzJaRa OK. Will do it soon on my society page here on YT and maybe on Instagram and FB just for fun :) Need to make some pile :) but you know - I dont habe the built ones only unbuilt :)

[@JazzJaRa]

@@coldemonspl Looking forward for it. You keep no Models for your own stash? :) So far I have a lot of 1/35 tanks, 1/48 helicopters and some aircraft. :)

[@coldemonspl]

@@JazzJaRa I build models for customers and not collect them. :)

[@ModelMaker993]

Hi coldemonspl, being watching your vids for a while. Your really instructive in your videos, so for that I thank you. Do you mind telling me where you got your tool to make the hand rails. Or what the tool is called so I may be able to find an equivalent. I find most kit made rails are too brittle and snap easily when trying to sand, also sometimes out of scale. Thankyou and I eagerly await your next videos.

[@coldemonspl]

Thx for your comment. I use 2 different tools - the smaller one is no name product but the bigger one is from Rp Toolz and it is called Handle bender/Handle bending tool. Hope it helps! :)

[@ModelMaker993]

Wonderful thank you for the reply. I will be adding that to my shopping list for sure. All the best, stay safe and remain cool

[@alvaroremirez2575]

nice build, can you share link for buy of the blending tool what you use. thanks

[@coldemonspl]

The one in video is no name but check RP Toolz. They have nice one in the offer. :)

[@memememe2674]

It's a great tank and so is the kit and build BUT I think you will find the ABrahms will take the win in any fight

[@coldemonspl]

Well, I would like to build Abrams someday. Maybe it will be posiible this year :)

[@pauldechampignon2287]

Hej, super wideo. Zdradzisz moze gdzie kupic taka gietarke do pretow miedzianych?

[@coldemonspl]

Hej! RP Toolz robi taką i jej używam. No name to jakiś wyrób samodzielny kupiony kiedyś na giełdzie :)

[@erniebrown6196]

Are you aware you have the training laser tag pyrotechnic simulation systems equipped something only used on exercise?

[@coldemonspl]

Yes, Iam. Is it incorrect? The tank is made as machine during some exercise. :)

[@nizalmuhammad9689]

Is this suitable for beginner?

[@coldemonspl]

Yes, it is but you need to be patient building tracks. :)

[@nigelsmith7366]

There is a YT channel called Zero Option... He was a leopard crewman from Canada.... I am waiting for him to send me some photos of his tank so I can build one for him

[@coldemonspl]

Good luck with it! :)

[@drakeangelheart]

Though i like your videos a lot, i am always put off because of the music. The music alwyas seems to be in stark contrast to the mood of the video. To be honest, it sounds like a 80ies synthesizer demo for kids, to fast, to electronic, to hectic, unsettling. I really like your videos, but please change the music. Nothing special needed, but just that it not takes away from the viewing experience. It would even be much better without any music at all. Nonetheless, looking forward to your next videos. Cheers mate.

[@coldemonspl]

In Poland we say that tastes are not discussed. You don't like this music and someone else does. There is no way to make everyone happy.
