Driving up onto the lowboy trailer must be a challenge, but such fun! Yay, Ian!

Took a look at the Leopard 1A5DK this morning. Its not to bad, but worse than anticipated.

Main gun broken in three places.

Both aerials damaged. Drilling and pinning will probably make these good.

Worse part, is a broken gearbox final drive. Not a clue about this part. May be some emails to Dominique, at RC Tanks. DE. Or ask at a local company if a new one can be turned up? The shock absorber is also damaged.
