Thanks Tony, but that was Centurions. As it happens that is my fave tank, but saddly I don't have one at 1/16, just two in 1/25.

Of course it was!

As a meek offering of humility, I can only recommend Mike Cecil's booklet "Battlegroup Leopard". While not as technically detailed as Shane's Cent book, it does contain some excellent pics of the Leopard on exercises in the North.

Hello Andy.

With regards to your needing parts for your 1:16 scale Tamiya Leopard model, look up a company on the web called RAINBOW TEN. They are located in Japan, not far from the actual Tamiya factory and are, in fact, their parts agent.

You might need to provide them with the original model kit number and definitely the original individual parts numbers.

I have found their prices unbeatable when compared to the local Canadian and American Tamiya distributors, and their service and delivery times are excellent when ordering parts for my 1:16 RC Tiger I. Seems the locals here resort to parting out old stock kits and I guess they try and make up their cost loss in doing so, when a kit is parted out.

If you no longer have the kit instructions, you should also be able to order same from Rainbow Ten, so you will have it for future reference.

Hope this helps,

David
