Hi all,
have seen this set on Blast site and wondered whether it could be suitable for doing a A4 NL.
I would discard the turret side add-on armor panels but it looks like the skirts, the MG, the antenna mounts could still be used.

Anyone to confirm or dispute ?
TIA

I'm not 100% sure but I think you could indeed use the skirts, mg and antenna mounts. Maybe also the smoke launchers. Looks like a nice kit btw.

Hi Martin,
I forgot the smoke grenades launchers, the most obvious part

It really looks good. I'll try to see it tomorrow at Blast shop.

Olivier,

Most of the parts can be used on the Leopard 2A4:
MAG Machine gun
Skirts (They are in fact retained from the 2A4)
Smoke Launchers and fixtures
Antenna pods

Not used:
Wheel Block holders (Back of the turret)
Cammo Pole holders (Next to driver in fornt of turret)
Turning light guards
GPS Antenna
Ritsel Kist (Stowage box on the roof)
and of course the side armour plates on the turret.
