If you didn't build an Australian AS1 from the Meng Leopard 1A3/4 kit then you might have the following parts leftover. I've got an old photo etch AS1 conversion and it's rendition of these parts is a bit lacking.

The parts I'm looking for are D8, K10 and W2.

Thanks,
Paul

Paul,

The Meng Leopard 1A3/4 kit TS-007 contains the parts you listed, but the instructions indicate that you can build 3 W German versions and 1 Helenic version (images from HobbySearch).







At the very least it appears from the instructions that you would need those parts for the Helenic version and K10 for the first two W German versions.

Agreed. The 1A3 uses the CWS blanking plate and the Greek GR1 has the tropical intake. The parts I mentioned might still be spare if a 1A4 is built or the kit is used for a Canadian C1 or Danish 1A5 DK conversion.

Sorry, Paul. I have that kit, but I am inclined to build the Hellenic version, so I wouldn't have the parts to spare.

Good luck in your search, sir.

Hi Paul,
I have parts D8 & W2 that you can have. K10 has been glued, sorry. The part K10 looks easy enough to scratch though, approximately 11CM or 7/16th's diameter.
If that will work for you PM me your address and I'll get that out to you ASAP.
Tom
