Does anyone have information on tweaks/tips to building this 1/35th kit? I'm interested in building one that the Canucks will end up using sometime later this year ...

Here's a link to a comparison build between the Revell-Germany Leopard 2A5 and the Tamiya Leopard 2A6. The Revell-Germany kit is the same as the Italeri kit. If you can't read German you will have to translate it.

I would suggest getting some PE and an aftermarket set of tracks and aftermarket barrel for the Italeri or Revell-Germany kits.

Or, just get the Tamiya Leopard 2A6...the detail is much better on the Tamiya kit.

Jason,

Could you try to repost the link? It's not showing up ...

Thanks!
