Can Trumpeter Leopard 2 Moveable track fit on Revell PzH2000? As I measured, the length is equal on HB Leopard 2 A6 but HB's Leo 2A6 track is wider.

Thanks.

The Leopard 2 (and the Leopard 1) has different tracks. The only aftermarket option available right now is a set from Bronco. Review here: https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/150410.

To be honest, i would suggest getting the new kit from Meng, it is better detailwise. The Revell kit can be also built into an impressive kit, with some work.

Why don't you get Bronco tracks? They do specific ones for that vehicle.

Cheers,

At first I want to thank Arpad and Christophe for your informations.
Here is the reason I asked my question

Quoted Text

PzH-2000 chassis use some mechanisms and parts from "Leopard 2" main battle tank. It simplifies howitzer serial production and maintenance as well as Bundesver armed forces use "Leopard 2" main battle tanks. Howitzer has seven bearing rolls from each side. Tracking wheels are placed frontally. Tracks are made from steel with rubber-metallic hinge. Tracks are interchangeable with "Leopard 2" main battle tank tracks.
from http://www.army-guide.com/eng/product237.html.

I can't find bronco track on my local store but they have trumpeter leopard 2 track. So I think I can buy the movable track for my Revel PzH. Meng's PzH didn't arrive at my local store now, I'll buy one if it available but still now I have to stick with Revel's ones.

Thanks again.
