It's actually an A5DK1; they have the extra boxes at the rear of the turret and the modified box at the rear, right of the turret.

I hope the instructions don't show the commander's hatch opening like that.

I chuckled when I noticed the hatches that way,reminded me of the "Mickey mouse ears" hatches on certain T34s. Otherwise a nice idea as something different to do with a Leo 2. Is this available in 1/35?

Legend does a conversion set for Meng's Leopard 1A3/4 kit. Highly recomendable.

Not too many Leopard conversions in 1/72.
