Hello,
I am looking for a photo etch set for a Revell Leo 1A5. Are there any such kits out there and if there are, which one is the best/most accurate?
Thanks,
Cam

You can use the Eduard PE set for the Italeri Leopard 1A2. It is the same kit minus the add on armour shields on the turret.

Hey Cam
I'm building the revell leopard 1A5 kitnr 03028 now. And I am using an eduard PE set nr. 35338. The eduard set is for a leopard 1A2 but most parts fit for a 1A5. It's pretty accurate too. I don't know if aber has a set. You can view the set on the website from eduard.
Good luck
Roel

There is no set made specifically for the 1A5 in 1/35.
I have used the new Eduard set for the Tamiya Leopard 1A4 several times....it is the only set with the accurate two piece engine air intake grill.

I wish they did do more for the Revell kits. I have the panzerhaubitze 2000 but never built it because the detail was lacking. I'm hoping one day either a better kit comes out or at least some tracks/etch for it.

Eduard makes an extensive PE set for the R-G PzH 2000....#35288. They have had it for a few years.

Eduard 35753 is a great set for any Leopard and a good price IMO. I bought several mostly for the engine deck and screen but it's got so many other details like smoke launcher chains, barrel shroud clamps, etc.
The Eduard set for the Revell Luchs looks pretty good too. I'm going to pick it up at some point.

The PzH 2000 PE set is on the Eduard site....I saw it right before I posted....just search for "2000" and go to the last entry....it is not listed under PzH 2000....it is "Panzerhaubitze 2000"...it is on-sale...discounted.

Great Models shows 1/35 EDU35288 Pz.Haubitze 2000 Detail Kit in stock for $10 and change. Just did a search on "Haubitze".
The last time I looked into ordering from Eduard the shipping cost was crazy.
