Military Vehicles Model Gallery
Modelled by Peter J Pickering
I drove, and was Loader on
this vehicle in C Squadron, 1st Armoured Regiment in 1987. The kit is
the Italeri kit with a Tamiya main armament (better scale). I used some of the
Armour Bits conversion, but also did a lot of scratch building. The tracks
are individual links that were produced in Hong Kong
Modelled by Allan Currey (Former 1
AR)
Two very nicely completed Leopard AS1s. The bulldozer blade and
mechanisms were scratch built and the blade is moveable. The top view
shows a very accurate mounting of the two stowage bins on the rear of the
turret. Models seen at NSW Model Show Wollongong

Model by Jason Miller
Jason has build this model of the Australian Leopard AS1 using the Armour Bits
conversion set. He has built the added items seen around most armoured vehicles and
has simulated the Barracuda camouflage. the model is of the leopard AS1 taking part
in the Mount Bundy exercises in 2000.
The model is a converted Italeri Leopard 1A4 combined with an Aussie Armour resin detail/conversion set. The mine rollers are from the Academy Merkava with mine rollers with a suitably modified mounting plate. The glacis mounting plate was scratchbuilt using pictures from Australian and NZ Defender magazine as a guide. The rear engine deck has the cyclonic air filter from the Tamiya Gepard with aircraft filter mesh over the top with some 10thou plastic cuts on top. The call sign is not correct, it should be something like 51X or 61X.
