What are the differences between the Italeri and Revell Leopard tanks? I know the y don't both offer the same variants, but is there f.e. difference in quality of the decals?

Thanks in advance.

Are referring to Leopard 1 or 2 kits?

If your talking about the Leopard 2 kits and you want to build a Dutch version, then a combination of both the Revell and Italeri kits gives you all the parts you need.

I think the Italieri kit has been issued before Revell's one.
Once I read that it has decals for an experimental tank in Germany and a Dutch version. As for Revell, the decals should be for non-experimental German versions... as for the rest, I guess the two kits have the same sprues and details!

Thanks all,

I was talking about both Leo 1 and 2, btw. Dan's site features both, so my questions are answered.
