The Leclerc kit is really bad. Heller tossed in some parts to update it to a more recent variant but it doesn't really save it from being bad.

If you want a Leclerc go for the Tamiya kit. Blast make several updates and backdates for this kit and it is absolutely superb.

As for the Heller kit it is poor. If you really want to build this kit I would suggest getting the WSW-Terre Models updates for this kit. These can also be purchased from Blast. I order from Blast quite often and find it to be extremely satisfiying as I can have item shipped from France and have in about a week.
