Hobby Boss have a teaser sprue shot of their upcoming Leopard 2A4 Can on their Facebook page. It's only one shot of the lower turret half and gun sprue, so we wait for more to follow!

What about an Australian Leopard for a change?
You may be right, I may be crazy.

Why is it always someone mention a cheiftan in every tread when a company release a new kit... Here it's about a leopard...
If a company want to release a cheiftan they will probably do that, and i'm sure they will do that sooner or later... But why mention the cheiftan tank in almost every new kits tread? There are many tanks that are not released....

You won't likely see an OOB Australian Leopard because...
#1 The Leopard AS1 is no longer in service as the Abrams is now the MBT.
#2 Mouse House Enterprises already makes a few top notch Leopard AS1 conversion options.

Just a heads up for everyone. The sprue shot is only a test sprue. Work is still going on for the production parts.

Rogerjo1, the reason l mentioned it is because apart from the Leopard becoming like the Tiger 1 and 2. IE that there is a plethora of Leopards on the market in many different versions, some are good and some are bad kits. Where as we only have one Chieftain, which is very old. And we need to keep reminding the manufacturers (who do read what is posted on theses pages) that we still would like one.......... and if you don't want Chieftain mentioned maybe you should post at the top of every post that in your opinion no mention of the previously mentioned MBT from the United Kingdom is to be mentioned because it upsets you..... l am very sorry that it has upset you to the point that you get you needed to write such a condescending post, again l apologise most profoundly, l hope you can salvage something from the day.

It's still a work in progress...a little more time and the rest of the details should hopefully be completed.

Just worked on the corrections to the kit, looking much better now.
Expect multi-part kit, mutli-options.

It's funny reading the Chieftain comments now that we have two on the way!
But seriously, back to the topic. I want this.

When the kit is ready it will be released. An accurate kit takes time to produce.

Glad they are taking their time to get this right.
Why plan when you can react?
