Default Leopard 2A6M CAN slat armor?

Anyone have any details or drawings on the slat armor used by the Canadian Military?

I bought a 1/35 photo etch set I was gonna scan and upscale to 1/16. I never got around to it but if someone has that ability I will send them the set for free in exchange for a 1/16 set.

I've got a 3D printer on the way, so I as planning on making it that way. No idea when that will happen though, as it will be the first time doing 3D printing... (All for the Maus Project...)

Was able to find a copy of Tankograd Publishing's books on the 2A6M Canadian Leo with 1/35th scale drawings... A nice starting point.
Anyone confirm that the slats are 0.375"/10mm thick? Looks like it is made up mainly of 2" x 3/8" bar (or 50mm x 10mm).

THIS would be the only way I would have the 2A6 Leopard. Little too modern looking for me straight out of the box BUT with the bar armor is awesome!

Isn't someone coming out with a 2A4 in 1/16? MUCH better looking tank IMHO.

At 104 Euros however, I'm gonna make my own. Also looks like the it is missing some production bracketry for holding up the lower hull slat armor (the upper brackets).
