AUSTRALIAN 1/35 scale Leopard AS1 building guide

AB01

Armour Bits Leopard AS1 conversion for Tamiya or Italeri Leopard 1 tanks.  The conversion is made up of resin and photoetch bits.  The resin bits provide items for the turret top, blanking piece for the left turret cheek, three hull stowage bins and front glacis rough ground cleats.

The large photoetch sheet provides rear engine meshes and two large turret baskets as well as some smaller pieces.

AA355

Aussie Armour set provides the same turret top bits asAB01 above as well as one rear turret stowage basket.  All items are resin.  This set results in a Leopard AS1 of the early 1980s when only one rear turret bin was fitted.
