Does anyone know if the resin leopard 1 turrets are mostly solid or hollow inside?

Hi Chuck, they're hollow. There is a little clean up needed where you add the donor kit lower turret floor. And don't forget you need the donor kits hatches and a few other bits. Oh yes the barrel isn't included either I think it may be on some but not all.

Only one is hollow -the A2 turret. The others are solid casts with holes for commander and loader.

Oops, I have the A2 and just guessed that applied for others too.
Sorry for any confusion.

You could always check out the reviews of the PSM turrets on Armorama...

The 1A2 turret is just the upper turret and not a complete turret. It is designed to be fitted to the donor kit lower turret base.
