Turret is different Tank-Masters Fahrschulpanzer 2

There 'was' a conversion for this, but memory is hinting it could have been a vac-form.

The Airmodel conversion was indeed a vac-form, nothing for anyone except the most experienced builders ...

Edit: I didn't make clear that the second link Scalemates Leopard Club Fahrschulpanzer 1 is for a RESIN cab from Leopard Club.

This is a news feed about Challenger CTT and DTT, not Leopard.

However, as everyone is going on about the awful Airmodel vac form which is no longer available, only one seems to know about my other driver trainer product - you guessed it - a Leopard 1: http://leopardclub.ca/workshop/LW050/

The Leo2 DTT uses the same side walls (the part with the windows) as the earlier Leo1 cab, so my CAD work on the Leo1 cab will serve as a starting point, but the ballast ring and lots of other details are different, so it will be a while before I can get it done as there are other things ahead of it in the pipeline. But I hope to do it for my own modelling, so Mike may yet have it on offer eventually...

In the meantime, enjoy the Chally cab!

Correct, but I answered someones' question, with a link to the Leopard Club cab.

I have seen Scorpions' work at a Duxford show, really nice work, so it might be denting my disposable income soon
