From Start to Finnish
DAVID PARKER BUILDS THE NEW MENG KIT
Meng’s latest addition to their range of Leopards is
in my opinion their best version so far and fills a
gap in the choice of 2A4 kits with what is the best
kit of this vehicle on the market. It is a remarkably
well detailed kit with everything that you might
want supplied in the kit with perhaps the exception
of some tiny chains for the smoke grenade covers
and maybe a metal tow cable. With the Leopard
2A4 serving in the armed forces of thirteen
different countries there is plenty of choice for the
modeller although the kit itself replicates just the
Bundeswehr version and comes with a choice of
four different German markings.
I decided that I would build my model as a Finnish
vehicle, a decision prompted by the colourful
splinter pattern camouflage that these vehicles
carry. The Finns have ‘personalised’ their 2A4s with
some additions and modifications to the standard
German vehicle with an additional stowage box
and bins on the turret bustle and track grouser box
on the front left face of the turret. There is new
anti-slip applied to the turret roof, and one or two
other small changes but nothing too complex to
achieve and I hope this will demonstrate how easy
it is to look at other scenarios for this superb kit.
