Legend Leopard AS1 conversion - the latest co-operation between Leopard Club and Legend. Available from the Leopard Club Shop as soon as we have stock.
One thing Legend did not do was the gun which has different themal sleeves. Luckily, we do them - LW019AC http://leopardclub.ca/workshop/LW019AC/. LW021B aerials are also appropriate for this http://leopardclub.ca/workshop/LW021B/

LF1353 - IDF M109 Stowage set
- 35 Resin parts
- for Dragon
I think that they may have made a mistake, that kit looks like AFV club.

Armorama did not make a mistake. At the time of publishing the news on Armorama, Legend website claimed the set was designed for Dragon. Owning a M109 from AFV Club, I presumed the set was indeed a conversion for that particular kit, but instead I copied Legends press release.
Anyway, I edited the news story so the info is now updated.

That turret basket looks great. Much better than the older AS1 conversion sets.

Leopard Workshop will soon have 'earlier pattern' baskets for back-dating this Legend conversion.

Didn't the last of the AS1s have a refrigeration unit present in the stowage basket?

Correct, and the Barracuda umbrella bag. Pretty easy simple scratch built additions or the Mouse House Enterprises set...

Not quite sure why Legend included american duffel bags and British pattern water jerry cans. Australian has been producing it own pattern water jeeries since at least 1966. The AMUs are old version that were not used with the last variant of the Leopard AS1 fitted with full width baskets and Raven radios.

Maybe experts in Israeli technology will tell me on which modifications of Merkava can be installed such a GPS-equipment?
