You might have met the occasional koala in Germany though. IIRC quite a number of  armour officers were posted across to Germany to gain experience in formation training. Gave them something vaguely useful to do, I suppose.

I must say, Leopards at speed were something of an eerie sight, they seemed to glide over the terrain at speed, which was a bit disconcerting.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

Yes we had a Warrant Officer on exchange at the Gunnery School when I was an Instructor. Decent bloke but forget his surname.

Leopards at speed were impressive. Used to get envious until we got Challenger.

OK, some unexpected delays out the way... its finally completed.

Nothing to show really, the changes were to make it prettier around the rear as the build scaffolding was leaving quite a mess.  I cut off all the rear boxes (2x stowage and 1x Exhaust) so they could be added afterwards to cover the mess.

I've also modded a GPMG to fit the cupola.

Should be going to Empress soon!

That pictures does not do it justice. Its a very gorgeous model. Just getting the barrel 'shroud' sculpted on then into production. Best get some crew sculpted.
