Have been curious about this kit. Is it sold in the USA yet but otherwise, is there a ball park price? Tks.

That is superb value. The quandary is, do I wait for the Meng or do I pull the trigger on the AH? Tough one.

Is this the model Germany is currently fielding or is it a prototype?

Just a prototype/demonstrator. It´s not yet decided how a Leopard 2A8 would look like. Our Leopard 2 will not have the M151 Protector RWS.

So the Leo 2A7V is the current model then.

Definitly. And when the modifications are done on all tanks, the V designation will be dropped. They´re just Leopard 2 A7.

That’s a great price. Amusing Hobby kits are outstanding.

Here’s a link I am following indicating the advanced systems to initially be procured:

I am very interested in this version but am undecided as to whether to wait for Meng? 42 Euros is attractive though, but prefer to see the plastic before buying.

These are great thanks! I hope the plastic kit has all the external detail including defensive anti-projectile/missile system.

I heard that the Bundeswehr Leopard´s will get the turret roof armor from Greek or Spanish Leopards. A lesson learned from Ukraine War. To me it´s to early to think about a Bundeswehr Leopard 2 A8.

Don’t know how this ‘information’ was born.
This is not an A8, not even an A8 Demonstrator. It’s just a chopped show tank.
Cool looking, with strange features, but show.

That was my worry also.
