Hello gentlemen!
I still got a month of summer holiday left so i guess it's good time as ever to finish my model backlogs. So here's one build that's been laying on the shelf from 2014(!), Leclerc S2 from Paper Replika: Leclerc Main Battle Tank
Well, it's not exactly from PR website though. Back in the 2006 several MBT models from PR - Abrams, Leopard, Leclerc, Challenger, T-90 and Scorpion - were published in printed form under local aviation & military magazine "Angkasa". The kits were offset printed on 210 gsm Art Carton in very high quality, Art Carton is good for boxy tank chassis but for the details and gun barrel i had to use PR digital download printed in thinner 160 and 80 gsm paper, respectively.
I bought the book second hand for 20% off original price, very good bargain i'd say considering the kits were complete and in good condition. Looking from the first picture's metadata i started the Leclerc about three years ago:

Completed turret:
Attachment 322528Attachment 322529Attachment 322530Attachment 322531
Hull (note the gloss on front glacis):
Attachment 322532Attachment 322533Attachment 322534Attachment 322535
Drive sprocket and road wheels:
Attachment 322536Attachment 322537Attachment 322538
I restarted the build few months ago and spent last three days finishing it, here's the result:
Attachment 322545Attachment 322546Attachment 322547Attachment 322548Attachment 322549
