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.

Very cool lineup, Mark. How do you rate that Leopard kit on a 1 to 10 scale? I'm thinking about purchasing that one.

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.
