sure, when this kit is ready you will be able to put the kit together just like you want it. the leopart positions will be divided in Hull, Turret, skirts, roadweels, cannon, Tracks , suspension and some lidel stuff.

Hi Chris,

Are the M26 Pershing wheels bigger than the Leopard 1 wheels by a lot? I have a lot of extra M26 wheels I want to use, will they fit with your Leopard 1 kit?

Ah I see, the tight spacing means that the suspension will cause the wheels to rub against each other on rough ground. I did not realize the wheels were so big... thanks for the picture! :D

Hi Chris,

Will the wheels also be available for purchase separately from the lower hull? Do the wheel shaft holes fit the HL Panther suspension?
