What items are out there to improve the Hobby Boss Leopard 2A4? Specifically the Finnish 2A4 on this sheet: http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/reviews/vehicles/echelon/ech_t35008.html

Real Model makes a very nice update set. PSM also makes one, but I have not seen that particular set

Hi!
The specific Finnish details are not represented in any AM kit. If you need detailed information on the Finnish modifications, you will find plenty of pictures within internet (for example at "andreaslarka.net") or also in Tankograd 8005 (Finnish Leopards).

Hope that helps

Check out Chris Jerret's build HERE to get some idea of the work you'll need to do to bring the HB Leo 2A4 to Finnish standards.
