What about this project? How is the status?

Sorry, but do i understand right that option 1 is a complete conversion-set for an Leopard C2 Mexas that includes parts for hull and turret and need basic kit from italeri or revell?

If it will be so, than: option 1

My day job is getting in the way. Just a few more additional details to clean up and it will be out for casting. We've added the a/c unit on the turret bustle, spade grips on the MG and we just need to sort out the mega tow hooks and double check fit and we are done the masters. Mostly tweaking on the turret details.

Paul, thank you for your update. Hope it will get out soon.
Do you have some photos from the master that you can show?

Jason

No, as the kit came out before we mounted the AC units in the sandbox.

Real Model makes a PE set that included the Chiller Unit.

But...the Chiller Unit should only be mounted on the model if the complete thermal covers are also in place.

Perfect Scale has just announced the release of their Leopard C2 , C2 MEXAS and C2 MEXAS with thermal cover. All three are very nice kits. Nevertheless we will be proceeding with our kit. They approached the problem differently than MLM did and we have added a number of items to make ours unique. We are still shooting for an end September availability.
