Rounding out this month, we have three more vehicles coming out of the Motor Pool.
First is the 1/72 scale Takom German Leopard 2A7:
With that Leopard done I now have the entire line of 1/72 scale Leopards ever released.
Next is the 1/72 scale Aoshima Japanese AACV7A1 RAM/RS.
I'm not sure what RAM/RS stands for, but this is a pretty impressive vehicle.
Finally there is this 1/72 scale Trumpeter M1120 HEMMTT Load Handling System (LHS):
There they are, the (probably) last vehicles for 2022. My apologies for the picture quality, I still haven't found my camera.
Thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

Re: The Duke Finishes Three Vehicles in December
Those are well done, interesting subjects...
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Great trio of modern vehicles Mark! You have really had a productive year and these three are truly the cherries on top of your efforts!

Re: The Duke Finishes Three Vehicles in December
Very cool lineup, Mark. How do you rate that Leopard kit on a 1 to 10 scale? I'm thinking about purchasing that one.

Re: The Duke Finishes Three Vehicles in December
Thank you Torbin! I put that Leopard at ten out of ten. In fact, I suggest you mask the turret surface in the hull as well as the turret 'ring' when you paint; the tolerances are so fine that the turret won't turn at all with even the thinnest layer of paint. I had to scrape mine several times to remove the paint in order to get the turret on. Also, leave the smoke dischargers off till the end. You can see how I lost a few while painting and finishing.
