Conflict '89: Winter Panzerbrigade Finished

Hey Folks,

All based and painted and good to go: I just finished the start of the winter West German Panzer Brigade. 
All based and snowed up :)
Luchs - would love to add some Recce Leopard 1A4s here!
Panzergrenadiers with 4 Milan and Marder 1A3 IFVs
A short Jaeger section - I have some TpZ Fuchs to paint as transports 
Leopard 2A5s - I would love to get a Leopard 1A4 company as well as these are utilised in the Panzergrenadier Battalions. I have also been doing some research on Heersstruker IV (Structure Plan 4) and it looks like Tank Company's were 2 Command and 3 platoons of 4 Tanks, so ten tanks at 2/3 str is about right.
Panzermorsers - full battery is actually 6 so I might add two more here. Also not sure if its a command Marder or M113 or M577 here as well. A Marder will do for now though
Rakejagdpanzer Jaguar 2s. Each Panzergrenadier Battalion had 12 of these. I'm assuming 3 sections of 4 tanks 
Panzergrenadier Battalion Command and a Gepard.

I can't actually find out how Gepards were distributed - there are 36 per Division but I'm not sure if they were assigned as pairs or sections or even fielded as full on Batteries. I DO know they had attached Stinger teams towards the end of the 80's

Overall I'm pretty happy with them. Just a few bits and pieces to finish off/ order.

Thanks
Jason
