This is my Leopard 1 :
JHA13, I have bought parts from Der Emma Laden. He makes nice stuff. Im going to use his gun mount system in the A4 turret. I just didnt care to have to convert the whole turret bottom to rollers and such. The way I did my 1A7 has worked out fine. And for my round turrets from Perfect Scale, I would not be able to use that roller system any way.
What brand is your turret?
How did you make your front fenders? I plan to build the same early plain Leopard 1 with one of mine and will need to build up that fender type after cutting off the tamiya later design for side skirts.
