ArmiesArmy Kick Off – now at 35% fulfilled :) Todays Kickoff Update
The Leopard C1
4CMBG link
It's still got quite a bit of work to finish this C1 off such as the gun mantle and extra optics, which were made for the c1. Then Its got to be split up and readied for printing :)
Please give feedback! Its how it gets better!!!

Probably pedantic, but the track looks like it is sagging between the front idler and the first road-wheel. Is this correct? |

They do for sure Ill fix that. The track needs thickinening for casting, so Ill tighten that up to! good catch ta
Realised I put a link not a pic!

Nice Keith, but I wish someone would do the Leopard 1A5, the late version with the laser rangefinder, thermal imaging and improved fire control system. Particularly as this is the third version in 15mm of the welded turret 1A3. And yes I know the Canadian version has some differences to the standard 1A3. |

1A5 is around 87/88? So I see no reason not to do one and it was pretty much the main Leo1 in terms of numbers I think Keith |

Yes Keith the 1A5 went into service around '88. Most Leopard users upgraded their tanks to 1A5 standard during the 90's. Here are some pictures link
Main features are the deletion of the coincidence range finder and armoured covers over the holes, applique armour carried around the turret basket and an armoured box for the thermal imaging sights and laser rangefinder on the turret roof in front of the commanders cupola. |
