Gentlemen
Trackjam Models in cooperation with Maple Leaf Models is pleased to announce the release of TJM-002 Leopard C1 (Late Version). This is a development of our previous Leopard C1 kit but has a corrected commander's cupola with the proper number of vision blocks the LLTV, thermal pointer and cam net racks on the turret sides. Chek out the website at www.trackjam.com

That's great news Paul!

I have been waiting to hear about this. I have been wanting to build a Canadian Leo for a long time.

If I want to build a Leopard C1 with Mexas armour, what Maple Leaf Models conversion kits do I need to purchase?

For a C1A1 you need these Maple Leaf Models conversions:

or get the Trackjam/ Maple Leaf Models Leopard C1 (Late) Conversion and

I scratch built my own turret bustle from brass.

Thank you Jason.
It looks like even the least ambitous route is going to be pricey (by my standards). But I am going ahead anyway as i have Italeri kit waiting for such a conversion to come along for the past 4 years.
