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

Dear Lukasz, I discovered your channel by "accident" and i'm happy that i did. Your videos are fantastic and show exactly what i need to improve my modelling skills ( I've been modelling for more or less 10 yrs now). Keep up the great work and greetings!

Nice to see the offspring taking a liking, however a lot of kids now don’t stick with it. The electronics have a tight grip on them

[@coldemonspl]

Good luck! :)

[@danakrause5031]

Outstanding result. A masterclass in mud/dust weathering. You really brought the kit to life with the various textures and effects.

[@coldemonspl]

Thank you very much! :)

[@glenflanderka6504]

Very cool weathering with dust, dry mud and wet mud. Really brings the model to life. See below. Someone is scamming a giveaway.

[@coldemonspl]

Thank you very much! :)

[@Phickic]

I personally don't like working with pigments, but I totally understand the appeal. They're the most intuitive, 'cuase after all they're pretty much the actual thing just scaled down. At any rate, amazing work

[@coldemonspl]

Thank you very much! :)

[@jurgen6768]

Excellent weathering which if done the way you have shown brings the model to life. I'm always learning something new watching your videos and I look forward to your next one.

Nice paint and weathering job mate . Cool to se you back in action :) Keep on the good work and model on . Have a nice day buddy PS The leopard has his weakness too , several Turkish leopards where destroyed by the Kurds in Syria . The myth was popped that it cant destroyed, it can be done with an simple RPG7 behind the turret on the ammo storage area.

[@coldemonspl]

Thx a lot mate for your comment!! :) I know Leopard is no the best and the story of lost Turkish tanks is known for me. Dont bother with the title - I put it as a clickbait :)

Hi Lukasz! I really enjoyed the Leopard series, as it is very good subject to model. The weathering is fantastic, and your techniques and skills are inspirational. I have learnt a lot from watching your channel, and for that I thank you. Eagerly awaiting your next project. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺!

[@bravo3leader722]

Your Leo turned out fantastic!! At the end of the video he looks sooo real!!! I assume the Deas model is finished!? Therefore, a little tip for the next modern German vehicle you build. I was a PzGren sergeant for 12 years and we color coded our tools. I was in the 4th company and our color was blue. I've also often seen that the Panzer troop did the same thing.

[@coldemonspl]

Many thx for this! I try to remember becasue it would be a very nice touch on models. :)

[@mariusmarius4283]

Witaj Łukasz, pięknie wyszedł, brakuje tylko Faun z naczepą od Trumpeter. Leopard na naczepie zapięty łańcuchami wygląda rewelacyjnie. Pozdrawiam Mariusz

[@coldemonspl]

Może kiedyś takiego zrobię. Na chwilę obecną byłby to za duzy projekt :)

[@dougziglar8489]

Amazing work. What are you using for pigment fixer?

[@coldemonspl]

In this kit Pigment fixer form old Mig. I use also white spirit or tamiya thinner.

[@declan1278]

Fantastic job if you have the chance what do you add to your pigments to make them stick to your model ? Also love the heat machine for drying the paints pigments etc please advise me if you can thank you

[@coldemonspl]

Just use white spirit, pigment fixer or tamiya trhinner to fix the pigments to the surface.

[@ricco9566]

Szczerze to nie podoba mi się w ogóle kamuflaż, pomalowany bardzo niechlujnie. A efekt weatheringu nie dopasowany, źle połączone pigmenty kolory ziemi oraz nie równomierne nałożone. Sam w sobie model fajny i ta siatka maskująca ciekawa.
