Just checked, and immidiatly ordered, from the PSM webpage the new Leo 2 " heavy side skirts ", the lastest version fielded from late 2007 onwards.
These will be the needed for the Canadian, Danish, Spanish, German and Schwedish version. On the fon I was informed that the front sections now have the 3 the "anti-slip" patches on them .... usally missing on all other kits.
Also, the "shadow-camo" items are well appreciated as seen on many German and Dutch Leos.
That Danish M113 looks very inviting too, Gama Goat will be out very soon as I was told.

It is nice to see the upgraded side skirts. The changes are fairly minor and can be missed if you don't know what you are looking for.....but at least now those looking for accuracy can get the correct skirt details without having to modify the kit skirts.

What is their service like? Responable shipping cost to north america?
I'm interested in a set of these as well for a Cdn Leo 2A6M I'm going to build.
Thank you.

Got mine on Saturday and they look great !
Now I don‘t have to bother anymore myself for future projects, the combination for the A5/6 front skirts with the old rubber ones wouldn‘t be a bad combination either
Gary, just send PSM an email on the shipping costs, what I gather from their website they use DHL shipping rates ..... can‘t be a fortune though.
Cheers

Do all of the Canadian Leopard 2A6Ms require this upgraded skirt?
