Is the barrel from RB Models #35B47 120 mm L/44 suitable for the Leo 2A5? They list it as A1 to A4, but it seems to look like a replacement for the A5 as well.

Thank you.
Leopard-2

Well, in fact it it the same gun but there are some cearly visible differences like the bellows, and the attachement to the turret. The whole part of the barrel between borce evacuator and turret actually is slightly different. Nothing you could alter easily within a short range of time.

Some putty and sanding on the kit barrel would be the much easier and quicker way. Due to pretty good detailing that's not a problem. Yes, i know that it's not easy. Over time I've become lazy with the time too and usually buy turned barrels nowadays.
