Hallo,
I am looking for pictures of the Leopard 1 chassis with a Marksman turret.
Does anybody know where I can find anything or help me?
Thanks in advance. Any help or hint is welcome and appreciated.

Google search for the Flugabwehrkanonenpanzer Gepard:

Hope this helps.

The Marconi Marksman turret is similar to the Gepard but not the same.

There appears to only be a very small amount of images of the Marksman turret on the Leo 1 hull....the one Graeme posted and a couple others are all that I have ever seen.
Very tempting for a Canadian What If!

That is probably the ugliest turret I've ever seen.
At least there is a turret conversion already:

Thanks, Graeme,
that's the only one I found googling and it is not green but gelboliv RAL 6014 I think (?).
Or what do the others believe ?
Paul,
Why do you think am I asking for pictures?
The AA conversion is on its way to my hobby room increasing the stash ;-).
It has been a very long time that I have wanted it. Now I'll get it and I'm looking forward like a child.
You are right 'ugly' but I like extraordinary constructions.
Jason, did you possibly download them??
