Hi, yeah, its nice to be back! Kandahar was not the nicest place to spend the past 7 months!

The website is called "Modern Canadian Vehicles" and is a sub-section of Maple Leaf Models.

Has anyone done a Jagdleopaed tank destroyer utilizing the chassis of the Leopard I yet?
It would be the equivalent of a modern day Jagdpanther.
Armed with a hull-mounted long-barrelled variant of the L5 105mm gun as used by the Swedish Strv-103 (S-Tank)

Or what about a modern Sturmgeschutz variant of the Leopard I, armed with a hull-mounted variant of the British L118 105mm Hamel gun?

I could envisage the likes of the Netherlands, Swiss, Finnish and German armies using these variants!!

These would make great profiles in modern German cammo

Here's my take on a JagdLeo 1:

Variant with 120mm main gun - note this apparently was a real life idea considered in the '80s as a way to give the German Infantry some fire-power - they would have been regunned and called Leopard IIIs!

Does anyone know the turret ring size of the Leopard 2?

Thanks in advance.

How do the infantry dismount?  Over the side?

Yep!

Here is what a Leo I with the Stryker MGS' gun might look like.  I had a little trouble scaling the turret because it's based on a scan from a kit of the Stryker MGS.  Unfortunately that scan wasn't exactly the best.  IMO the turret seems a little large but this is the closest I could get.

I used part of a "Rinoceronte" drawing from here http://www.ferreamole.it/images/rinoceronte/rinoceronte.htm to get the uparmored hull (like that of the Leo I the Canadians used).

A slightly backwards concept - JagdLeopard with the 128mm gun from a JagdTiger?  Too crazy?  Naval 5" gun?

Some say that a T-72 turret was mounted onto a Leopard 1 hull for trials, while others say that this is just a viz-mod.

EDIT: Check around the forum...... and it looks like it was proposed for Malaysia...... guess I can assume that this is a functional fit.

This raises the possibility of going the other way too - Leopard turrets (including Gepard) on T-72 hulls...
