Here are some pictures I found of the Leopard 2A4 in Chilean markings with new paint scheme. Makes me want to get started on my HobbyBoss kit!

The antena mount on the turret rear looks differnt? The normal one dose not have the sqaure or is it round?? box at the base of the antena as far as i know but i could be wrong on that one.

Yep, the radio was changed to match with the standard ones currently fitted in the rest of the chilean Army vehicles (donīt remember if those are american or israeli though) such as the Leopard 1V, AIFV, M113, M109, Piraņas, etc.

Nice pics!

Does anyone know if Chile also picked up some surplus Gepard SPAAGs as part of the deal, as had been hinted to in the past?
