So more googling and it would seem this is actually the 2A7V, not the 2A7+. New version for the German MOD. LINK

OK, which one is the "right" one? Both are OOS at Sprue Bros. right now.[/quote] Right one in which sense? One is for the older 2A4 version, vertical turret front, and the other is the 2A7 which has an arrow shaped front to the turret. So they are both right depending on what you are looking for. I haven't kept track of what the "latest and greatest" is when it comes to Leopards. If you asked about the best kit for Leopard 2A7 in a separate thread it would probably attract the real Leo-experts and get you some good answers. Just to add to the confusion: 2A5 by Tamiya 2A6 by Tamiya 2A6 by Italeri HobbyBoss Revell Edit: This was/is revells own plastic: but this one is an Italeri rebox: Edited to correct mistakes regarding the origin of the two Revell kits, see post by Ed Granger below / Robin

Ken, I was thinking the same thing after looking at this site- LINK Dan

Nope, not that one. Revell did rebox Italeri's Leopard 2A6: LINK But the one in your post is Revell's own tooling, and a much nicer kit. Revell are rereleasing it next month, hopefully in grey rather than that yucky green plastic they used to love.

I'm pretty far into building Tiger Model's Revolution I. Track work & a trip to the paint shop, soon as warm weather arrives. It's a nice kit, Tamiya like in assembly but with more parts. I'm betting TM's Revolution II is much the same. Call me a completist or crazy but I want to build 1 of each Leopard 1 & 2 that I can. (not every countries variant, now that would be crazy) So more the merrier I say !

Thanks, Robin. I generally avoid Tamiya armor as too simplified. I think the later Leopard is my choice, since I like the angled armor. Much obliged for the information. And the sight for "all things Leopard" looks very interesting, too.

Also, Leopard fans will shortly have even more options - Border Models' forthcoming Leopard 2A5/A6: LINK
