LOL Graeme, I was about to say the same thing, aftermarket part for an aftermarket part! Looks like this one has the very subtle Fiberglas weave in it, which is seen in some photos rather than the smooth resin - of course a little texture with Mr. Surfacer might reproduce the same thing. Jim

Looks like someone read my reviews of various aftermaker barrels for Leopard 2! I was always complaining about the lack of texture on resin fume extractors - now I finally can get one with that texture present! Pawel

Thanks for the post Jon EuroModel Productions will release other sets soon for the swiss army Leopard II. I hope this kit will be helpfull, it's not so easy to have a realistic fiber crossing effect on the extractor. Regards Dan EuroModel

Dan, Very nice to hear you will have some parts for the Pz87....a conversion kit? I hope the exhaust silencer will be included in your line.

I wish somebody would produce a generic A/M set of pin marks for military kits. I'm not completely sure that the ones found on the kits are accurately depicted.

Dear Jason Of course The exaust silencer will be the first parts available. Within 1 or 2 weeks it will be ready for production Regards Dan EuroModel

Curious to see how distinct the texture is and how well it shows through when painted. Paul

Dear Paul here you can see a painted extactor

Hi Daniel, this looks pretty good! I would like to see more of your STRV 122. By the way, I did not order your barrel part and also not the exhaust for the Leopard. I wait for the turret details, too. Do you have any schedule when these parts are finished? Best regards Stephan
