After an issue was observed with the Leopard barrels by Leopard Workshop was observed they quickly took them off sale and reinvented the wheel. Leopard Workshop has now made the changes required and released all new offerings of their Leopard Barrels in 1/35th scale.
Leopard 2 Gun Barrels
All four sets of barrels are now back in stock.
Only a few brass barrels are now left for the LW018 sets. First come, first served. I have taken the decision to change to resin barrels, in line with the LW017 sets. I have also taken the opportunity to improve on one of the fume extractor textures which I hope is now more accurate.

LW017R Leopard 2A4 Barrel For Revell Leopard 2A4 (03193)
Designed to be a straight fit onto the Revell kit. Three alternative fume extractors are provided with different textures. Check your references against the model you are building. Remove the casting gates CAREFULLY. The fume extractor has a small hole at the front which needs to be drilled out to 3.2 mm. Drill this from the INSIDE/the rear. The rear has a wider opening to fit the kit mount. Carefully align the parts. There is a small amount of play in the fume extractor to help you with this. The sight on the collimator goes on the right side, not the top.

LW017M Leopard 2A4 Barrel For Meng Leopard 2A4
Designed to be a straight fit onto the Meng kit. Three alternative fume extractors are provided with different textures. Check your references against the model you are building. Remove the casting gates CAREFULLY. The fume extractor has a small hole at the front which needs to be drilled out to 3.2 mm. Drill this from the INSIDE/the rear. The rear has a wider opening to fit the kit mount. Carefully align the parts. There is a small amount of play in the fume extractor to help you with this. The sight on the collimator goes on the right side, not the top.

LW018R Leopard 2A5/2A6 Gun Barrel For Revell Leopard 2A5 and 2A6
Designed to be a straight fit onto the Revell kit (03097 and 03243). Three alternative fume extractors are provided with different textures. Check your references against the model you are building. Remove the casting gates CAREFULLY. The fume extractor has a small hole at the front which needs to be drilled out to 3.2 mm. Drill this from the INSIDE/the rear. The rear has a wider opening to fit the kit mount. Carefully align the parts. There is a small amount of play in the fume extractor to help you with this. The sight on the collimator goes on the right side, not the top.

LW018T Leopard 2A5/2A6 Gun Barrel For Tamiya/Hobby Boss Leopard 2A5 and 2A6
Designed to be a straight fit onto the Tamiya kit. Three alternative fume extractors are provided with different textures. Check your references against the model you are building. Remove the casting gates CAREFULLY. The fume extractor has a small hole at the front which needs to be drilled out to 3.2 mm. Drill this from the INSIDE/the rear.

I think that these are really GREAT I purchased a lot from Lucky Models. I just wish this company would improve their web site to make it easier to order multiple items from them rather than going to China for them.

If anyone would like multiple items, just mail me and I will work out a combined postage for you. This is clearly explained in the large yellow panel at the top of the Workshop and Shop pages.
