Hi Jasper,
I would be very interested in getting all the details about what needed to be changed/added/replaced

Loved it! Beautiful build, I want to do something similar (kitbashing dutch parts) from the new Revell Leopard 1 on a (also new) Leopard 1A1 plus Takom turret armour parts, Meng PZB 200 and Leopard Workshop aftermarket tracks, to get a Chilean Army Leo 1V.

The only thing that give headaches is the IR armoured cover...do you have pics of yours during construction?

Cheers

Hi Klaus,

Thank you for the kind words! That sounds like a beast of a project, and the hardest part of the conversion for me was indeed that armoured cover. Unfortunately, the pictures above are all I really have of the various changes I made. On this forum the builder does show how he made the part, and I more or less copied what he did there on the cover. It is in Dutch, but I hope it’ll help you out. Here’s a link: http://www.twenot-forums.nl/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=27853&sid=c090538b230a76e38f68293cc3d8b932&start=20
