No the Takom kit does not have the dozer blade.

The termal cover is only made by Perfect Scale Modellbau in their conversion for a Revell or Italeri kit.

I think it is possible to do it oneself the termal cover.

Panzerart also makes a conversion for the Takom Leopard C2 MEXAS kit that includes a replacement turret with the thermal covers and the hull thermal covers.

Good to know as I've been wanting to get a Canadian Leo in Afghanistan for a dio that I've been planning for some time. The dozer blade is merely a bonus, albeit a nice one.

Takom's offer is not as accurate as it could seem.
