Hi all,
Can someone point me or give me a good reference photo of the top view of the Leopard 2A5/6 tank blinker? I am working on a CAD of the cage/protector to 3D print in 1/35 and having a hard time locating a good reference photo of the top view. I want to get the curvature correct.
Border and RFM parts are slightly different, while the old Tamiya kits are completely missing them. Haven’t checked the newer Revell offerings yet.

Here are the reference photos I came across:

I cannot find the top view. Here’s the draft CAD I have so far:

Probably not going to be obvious in 1/35 scale but I am wondering if it should be wider and rounder or narrower?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
James

Hi James, checked some photos but none came even close to what you are after. However, I have access to a Tamiya 1/16 Leo 2A6 which has that part. I’m happy to CAD it for you and send you the file in a format that suits you. Needless to say it is for free.
