On my 1a7 build I glued a styrene strip around the hull ring and then cut the tabs off the turret and glued new ones under to allow it to raise up .010" Worked just fine so far.
Hi,
there is a shop in germany that sells some parts for the Tamiya Leopard 1.
Among other things, there is also a conversion kit for the Leopard 2 bearing race so that it can be fitted exactly to the Leopard 1A4.
