Hi all,
Im looking for input on how to go about building a Canadian Leo 2a4 (non m version). I think the hobby boss leopard 2a4 kit is a good start but where do I find the back up camera, 6/2 smoke launchers and turret bins?
Cheers, Curtis

The rear camera is different on the 2A4 and 2A4M than on the 2A5/2A6. You will have to scratch build it. There is also a front viewing camera on the glacis plate on a bracket.
You can get the 6x2 grenade dischargers from Perfect Scale Modellbau (PSM).
The new 2A4 CAN has slightly different antenna mounts on the turret and angled cam net pole holder brackets on the glacis plate.
The turret bins are the same as on a regular 2A4...there are several PE sets available....try Eduard for starters.
You will have a bit of scratch building to do to build it....or be patient and you will likely see a conversion set for the Hobby Boss 2A4 kit in the future....
