Hi Sax I have the VS version of the leopard very detailed so the 1/16 should be very similar

They are not quite what they appear in the pics, very noisy, not very rugged, and very plasticky. They can however be made into very good scale models with some work. Have a search on RCU and here as I seem to recall that someone converted a few of them very nicely.

Mackem has done a lot with them, you should have a search thru the archives for his work
