Lord, give me strength to change the things I am able to change.... and patience to endure the things I can not change A bunch of Tiger and Panther variants, Leo II, Famo, 222s, a few 88`s and smaler ones like Hetzer, Stug III, 251, etc.

Re: Leopard 2 Prototype
Some more photographs of the Leo ...

Front armour plate shows the snow shoes (Grousers) and the spare track links:

Close up view of one of the roadwheels - missing the hubcap at the moment:
Rear view showing the convoy light. Provisions have been made to put an LED in there.
Rear bins are missing their lids at the moment. These will be functional bins.
Torsion bar suspension:

Re: Leopard 2 Prototype
Nice photos.
Now the road wheels are with flat washers & nuts , or flange nuts.

Re: Leopard 2 Prototype
Fun fact - the Leo 2 has 330 unique parts (that excludes the fasteners).
For comparison, the 2021 Tiger 1 had 251 unique parts, so the Leo 2 has over 30% more unique components.
The 2023 early Tiger 1 had 273 unique components - and that was our most detailed Early Tiger kit.
No wonder it is taking so long to manufacture!
