Looking for the Dutch smoke launchers from the Italeri Leopard 2A5 kit. The Dutch decals would be nice to have as well but not crucial. I have some accessories and other stuff to trade.
Also looking for Military Modelling Vol 33. #2 which has an article on converting the Italeri Leo 2A5 kit to a Dutch 2A5. I want to do the same thing starting with the Tamiya kit.
Thanks,
Paul

Paul, I'm afraid that I can't help you with the smoke launchers or decals, as I used them myself. As for the conversion, I found out (after I build mine ) that the most obvious difference for the Dutch 2A5 is the skirts. The Dutch ones are the 'old style' pointy skirts, not the straight ones in the kit. Well obvious to all but me.. :-) .
It's the part of the skirt behind the thick, armoured front part of the skirt. From just below the drivers hatch (or the edge of the turret in my pic) to the rear.
Cheers
