It looks as if the Leopard has a lot of interest judging about the latest book announcements from Tankograd Publishing. The Leopard 2A7 and 2A4M CAN are covered in two of releases. The Saxon is perhaps the one I am most looking forward too.

Kampfpanzer LEOPARD 2A7
The World's Best Tank - Development History and Technology

By experts considered as the best main battle tank in the world, the Leopard 2 now reaches its most recent stage of modernisation: the 2A7.
During an official ceremony at the Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) facility in Munich on 10 December 2014, the Bundeswehr had received the first of 20 upgraded Leopard 2A7 MBTs. Since June 2015 the 203rd Panzer Battalion fields 14 state-of-the-art 2A7s in its 2nd Company. These are organized in three platoons each with four MBTs and two MBTs for the company headquarters. An additional five vehicles are used by the Training Centre Munster, and another one was fielded by Training Centre Technical School Land Systems in Aachen.
This publication covers the introduction and the many technical improvements of the new 2A7-variant of the Leopard family in great detail.

Nr. 6036
M36, M36B1 & M36B2 Tank Destroyers
After the M10 and M10A1 Tank Destroyers (TM 6028) this is the companion volume on the Tank Destroyers of the M36 vehicle family in service with the US Army in WW2 and Korea. As in every volume of this series the vehicles are shown in original wartime photos and detailed excerpts from the technical manuals. The pictorial part is supplemented by a comprehensive text on the history and technology.

Nr. 9024
AT 105 SAXON
Wheeled Armoured Personnel Carrier of the British Army 1977 to Today
The AT 105 Saxon is a wheeled armoured personnel carrier (APC) operated by infantry battalions and elements of supporting arms of the British Army from the mid-1980s right into the new millennium. Procured as wheeled armoured transport that would allow infantry assets to travel at considerable speed under armour protection, the AT 105 Saxon also saw service as an internal security vehicle in Northern Ireland, as a patrol vehicle during peace and stabilisation operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and as a counterinsurgency vehicle in Iraq and Afghanistan. This publication describes the complicated development history, the technology and all variants of the Saxon in great detail. An additional chapter covers the export versions.

It seems Tankograd Publishing is competing with Trackpad Publishing for this subject and also for the 2A6M CAN. Don't know if the Hobbyboss kit 2A4M CAN has been released. LINK
