Leopard 2A4Photoetched Brass

Manufacturer:Eduard (# 22016)

This setcontains 131 parts, including:

• pioneer tools
• engine air intake grates
• side hull access hatches
• rear view mirrors
• fenders
• rear hull details
• tow cables
• turret storage bin access hatches
• grenade launchers
• hand holds
• cupola MG mounts
• miscellaneous turret details

As withthe T-80, the main purpose of this set is to provide all thedetails that are missing from the kit, such as the grenadelaunchers and other turret details. The use of this set will go along way in bringing the turret detail of the Revell kit up tothe same level as the Hasegawa kit. Most of this set would beuseless for the Hasegawa kit, as it provides mostly details thatthe Revell kit lacks, but which are already present on theHasegawa kit. Some of the parts are useless (as you probablyexpected I would say), such as the pioneer tools, hand holds andtow cables (?!). Overall, however, this set would be a welcomeaddition to the Revell Leopard 2A4. Note that many of the turretdetail parts are made superfluous with the release of the Leopard2A5 kit, which includes many of the missing details.Consequently, only some portions of this set would be useful forthat kit. The instructions are very good.
