  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

Hi
I like your tank very much, I've seen pics of it before somewhere else. I'm going through the process of scrath building all the modifications to make it a correct AS1. I've blanked off the left hand rangefinder and built the new parts for the turret roof. I've noticed the Smoke discharger guard is wrong and now have to rebuild that too. Will post pics when it is done. Still more work to do. I've also found a good website for spares http://www.afv-model.com/4711shop/in...4db9a6a3241177 Give it a look you'll be amazed.

If modelling with fiddly litle bits is not your thing, have a look at this!
