Hello!

Is anyone making bar/slat armour in 1/72 aside from the DML Challenger kit? Ideally I'd be looking for etch as opposed to scratching it with styrene...

Alex,

Dragon already makes a Challenger with slat armour and it's kit #7287. If you do a Google search you'll find several PE sets for Challenger 1's and 2's. Unfortunately, from what I've seen, several of the slat armour sets appear to be discontinued.

Cheers,
Jan

If a Stryker sounds interesting, there's a PE set for that.

Another options is the Canadian Leopard 2

As for the base kit you are asking I have used the new Revell Leopard 2 A6M. Just scroll down on the WIPs. Pictures to show step by step progress. Any questions just PM me. Hope this helps you out.
