The latest news is in from Takom, and for those Canadian armour fans there is an upgraded Leopard crawling our way.

If you listen closely, you can hear Legends dropping the f-bomb...

I think there are a few more companies doing that too, there have been three companies of late offering or about to offer the resin conversions.

Wow one in plastic have only been waiting forever for one. I was holding out for the Trackjam conversion but I don't know which way to go now. Hoping there are more details soon.

While I am sure this will be a welcome release I am sure that Legend and others will still get orders from those who want the tank but do not want to buy a new kit.

I guess that I can skip the search for a Leo 1A5 for the Legends conversion that I have... Perhaps I will hold what I have until the TACOM C2 comes out and decide then.

Based on Anthony's Sewards' involvement, this should be a good one, hopefully with LdSH markings.

I read somewhere, that this kit will share the lower hull and running gear with the Meng kit. Anyone has more info on that?

This sure makes life simpler and less expensive: just imagine, no aftermarket resin dust, obnoxious and toxic glues and cursing to make things fit! I'm in heaven...
