Nice, thanks for the review Jason.

Going to come in handy for my maint dio!




Yes this a Leo2 pack, but you get the gist



cheers

Nice write-up Jason! I really enjoyed reading this review. Good job!

Thanks Guys,

PSM keeps impressing with every release they have. I expect they will have more Leopard 1 and 2 kits and conversions coming down the pipe in the future.

Heh Jason

Very good review except .... it doesn't tell me when to find the time to build it !!!
Actually my second kit from PSM was the Leo2 engine + bay smooth build + great result. This kit looks a little more complex though and even more tempting.

Cheers

Thanks Chris...you could always forego sleep and build at night!

Thanks Jason,

Mouse House Enterprises has just bought a few of this kit into Australia. Like you I was blown away with the quality (only damage was the right hand side of a cross beam broken on the floor of the engine compartment). I'm going back through my photos of my time in the (Australian) 1st Armoured Regiment 1978-84 to find photos of the colours of the power pack, and the engine deck lifting tool, with its one-way friction spanner. This part is essential in showing the engine covers removed during a powerpack lift. I can not remember it being modelled in any kit, and it was part of the CES (Complete Equipment Schedule) on every Australian Leopard.

Rather than write a full review for Australian modellers, I'll point them to your excellent review, with a few of my own comments.
