Sweet! Will you be using HL wheels or making your own? What about the tracks and sprockets?

Looking good! Are you using the HL Leopard 2 metal wheels?

Also, will there also be a cast turret version of this kit? Like the one on the Leopard 1A2:

heute ging es endlich weiter mit den Laufrollen, da die Kette gekommen ist konnte ich nun genau sehn wie ich am besten alles bearbeite.
Das Gleitlager vom Panther habe ich von der rückseite eingeführt so das das bund fast am Schwingarm anliegt, die nach vorne rauschauende rest hülste wird gekürzt.

Yes Sir!

I've always Liked The Leopard 1A4 and 1A5's...
They Looked so Elegant compared to our M60A3's...
And they looked like a Much Harder Target to Hit.

hi

if the track stays there wer it should be, it should hold, if not. A metal skirt will be not much better as the poly variant. The main problem are the holders, out of metal thay will breake out of the hull at an exident and the poly variant will breake off. Diverent kind of demange but still a damage. Main goal is to prevent the kirts from the track an anything will be good. If not its still a nice Battel demage ;-). I m lookinforwar to do the first field testings :-).
