Legend Productions 1/35 Belgian Main Battle Tank Leopard 1A5BE Conversion Set (for Meng kit No.TS-015) LF1304

Brand new!

This is a pure resin and photo-etch AFV conversion kit from Legend Productions. The kit has 20 Resin and 57 photo-etch parts. Belgium was the first customer for Leopard 1 outside of Germany. 132 of the original Leopard 1BEs were converted to Leopard 1A5BE (February 1994 to mid-1997) with the addition of new side skirts (different to German ones) and a Belgian SABCA fire control system with a distinctive armoured head. Leopard 1A5BE saw service in Kosovo under KFOR during 2000 and 2001, based in the northern salient of Kosovo on a strategic hill code-named 'Notting Hill'. Common crew mods saw the addition of ammunition boxes, largely of British origin, hung around the rear turret basket and sometimes bolted to the right turret front below the gunner's site.

Important! This item is unassembled and unpainted. All extra model kit(s) and figure(s) in the pictures are for illustrative purposes only, and they are not included.
