I explored the Leo 2 setup but I stuck with basically a Jagdpanther setup as I was trying to keep this project affordable. I managed to get the kit with the metal tracks for $400 and the Tamiya MFU/DMD pair for around $200. Most of the sundries came out of my parts box.
It is essentially a show tank that I will run infrequently. I still battle mostly with my Jumbo and Easy Eight. I try to spread the wealth but one only has so much time at an event!
