It is I, Leclerc!

Oh, no! Just when I though I was safe! And bravo to TongDe for giving us yet another fresh RTR.

Shouldn't the manufacturer be Tengdo?

Or...CanDO?

So it has a faster reverse than forward then

Haha yeah they wished they had that technology on the Churchill at Dunquerke !

Nice to see finally one of the best tank available in 1/16 I hope this is a translation mistake and that the tires are not really silicon but some synthetic rubber, like PU rubber instead. Silicon doesn't age very well.

It doesn't look bad at all ! Can't wait to see the inside.

Got to applaud them for putting in on the scale with options.
Is this the most up to date version on the Leclerc ?
I’m not familiar with the lineage and as these are not as front of mind as say a T72 or Abrams it would be nice to know

No it is not, the latest version is the Leclerc XLR. Lots of improvements both visible and not visible. The visible ones are new armor kits and grill that can be attached on the side, front and underside of the hull. Slight chnages on the turret shape too. And they don't have the NATO camo any more.
