That sure looks good Panther G. I'm going to guess your custom roadwheel spacers and sprocket adapters are some of the parts Phil has?

Yes, Phil will be selling these parts for me. I am not going to try to get into thisbusiness. LOl I have a buddy who makes them for me from a design I made and then I ship them to Phil. The roadwheel spacers will fit the LEO and Abrams from HE. We will have shaft adapters available also if you want to use the Tamiya LEO tracks and sprockets as regular gearboxes wont work with thosesprocketswithoutan adapter.
You can also use the Tamy LEO sprockets on the Abrams also with just a slight modification. If you are interested I can give you more details later and try to load some pics on this crazy site. i always have trouble getting pics up on here. File sizes are always too large.

That is an old photo of the LEO. i repainted it with Tamiya NATO colors accept for the green . I dont like the NATO green, it looks too yellowish for me so i used Tamiya black Green. makes it look much more washed out and weathered that way. then i hit it with some Tamiya Buff for the dirty look. Need to get some new pics of it along with the Abrams that is completed now.

lol!! Just sayin man, just sayin! I ended up purchasing the HE Leo anyway, just so I can pre-make the slat armor for my Tam, then convert the Leo to a Jagdleopard, lol. Phil doesn't have the Abrams, but I'm keeping an eye out for it. I was going to just purchase the Chunwai Abrams, but the sounds are not pleasing at all. The price tag is too high to consider buying it then using an aftermarket method like elmod or something to fix the sounds. For some reason, after watching videos of it, the turbine restarts every time the tank comes to a stop, like it's r-epowering up. I don't know if that's correct....but it don't sound like it! So, HE abrams, here I come!

I didn't get the Leo from Phil. From ebay in the link I had posted is where I got it.....but I'm canceling it for now, lol. I'm looking in my studio and I just can't bare to have another tank pollute my area until I'm done with them....hopefully the seller does cancel it.
