Hi Guys,

I built this for Ron's Amazing Anti-Aircraft GB.

It's a Gepard A2, painted in a scheme of a vehicle that underwent testing in Cyprus. The kit was up to Meng's usual standard and went together beautifully, although I did have some issues with the tracks and the paint.

Hi Bob,
Seriously impressed with the paintwork, build and base:thumb2:
I’ve overlooked this kit a few times...but you’ve knocked out a cracker...I’ll have to try hard to keep it out of the stash now:thinking:

Nice rendition of a Gepard. Really love how the weathering brings the camouflage to life. And the piece of groundwork sure suits it well.

Cheers

Hi Bob,
That's a cracking result as Wouter says the groundwork finishes what looks a superb well painted and weathered kit

That is a little belter Bob. Love the camo colours and they are all nicely tied together by the weathering.
Great job all round.

Thanks chaps, I'm pretty happy with how it came out considering I wasn't happy with the paint job. :smiling3:
