Looks good but what makes it Canadian specific? Looks just right for an German, Italian Leo 1A2 as far as I know.

I think what makes it Canadian is it allows one to build one of the "rent a tanks" that Canada used in the 70's while they were waiting delivery of the Leo C1's they are only now phasing out.

The turret in the Italeri 1A2 kit is not correct for that version. I belive that kit is actually a 1A1 Leopard with the turret provided.
