Hi all Leo fans,
I also started Leo 2A5DK. Hull is Hobby Boss, turret from Tamiya, Barrel Depot gun barrel.
I plan here also make of small update set for HB model (resin and PE parts). Maybe also MG armor turret.

Another good model underway. Are you going to add Baracuda cover?

I like the added details. Is the top piece of the additional nose armor supposed to stick up like?

Scott,
Tamiya parts, side skirts also good fit on HB because HB is copy Tamiya.
I have rest some Tamiya parts, for that I this use.

Is there a chance this will become the master for another great Real Model conversion?

Someday I'll do the naket one, it has a cool paint job. I have two slat models underway right now so I think that will be it for the rest of my modeling years or untill someone puts out a good plastic version.

looking forward to seeing all these Leopards done. I'm hoping to finish the Hull portion of my Canadian Leopard tonight.

Hi Miloslav,

How is your build coming along? I am looking forward to seeing your Danish Leopard 2A5 conversion.

I hope the kit will be up for sale in the near future?
