Legend have just informed me that they are about to release an upgrade set for their lovely Leopard C2 MEXAS conversion. You may remember that their conversion represented the C2 MEXAS as it was delivered to Afghanistan. With this very detailed upgrade set, the original can now be updated to represent all of the combat versions up to the thermal jacket stage.
The set includes a very detailed ECM unit and shield, front dust flaps, jerrycans and straps, new aerial mounts, a collimator, antennae bags (correct length), cooler (correct size), MG travel locks, etc. Excellent stuff!!!!
The expected retail price will be 20-25USD.
Have a look on my Facebook page for photos. www.facebook.com/leopardfibel

I wonder if this will work on the new Takom Mexas coming out.

@ Kevin - this is actually a new upgrade set for that conversion - a few things that can be added depending on the time frame/vehicle you want to model.

oh good an upgrade kit for a conversion set that i will never use. 6 weeks after the takom kit arrives they will announce the late version of the C2 Mexas kit.
