The anti-slip is in place on the hull and turret parts.

The Barracuda MCS is tricky as an aftermarket part. If a company created it in the proper configuration, pattern, and texture they would be very popular.

I was thinking of resin zimmerit which is available from aftermarket companies, but then again it cannot be compared to the complexity of Barracuda or the fact most surface details are actually covered with Barracuda so the fit to the model would have to be perfect... Still, I would love to see some companies give it a shot with resin Barracuda upgrade.

Both of those conversions are for the Leopard 2A6M CAN and not the Leopard 2A4M CAN.

The Cromwell conversion is no longer available.
