Howdy,

The gathering of stuff continues for my Leopard 1 project(s). Does anyone make lenses for the Leo 1? Would the Leo 2 lenses from SKP work? And are the mirrors on the 1 and 2 the same?

TIA

I am sure if you wait a couple of months SKP will be meeting your needs.

And of course Bronco will release 4 new Leo 1s just after I start gluing.

In all seriousness, SKP model lenses are awesome. To me they are like modeling crack. if they make them, I need them

The headlights on Leopard 1 and the Leopard 2 are the same but the mirrors are not the same. Echelon Fine Details makes mirrors for the Leopard 1 and Leopard 1.

If you can find MV Products Number 17 lenses they are great for Leopard headlight lenses.

Ha

Resicast (http://www.resicast.com/) offers lenses for the front lights. 3,5mm diameter would be o.k.
