Hello Jason,
Thank you for your very kind comments. Your Leo 1A5DK in AFV Modeller magazine was the main source of inspiration for my model. I'll have to admit that I converted the mine plough by the "seat of my pants" and did not use any measurements (I did not have any). However, I will e-mail you some pics of my mine plough that might help you to see what I did (anyone else who wants these pics please let me know - they are not great, but perhaps they will help). I pretty much destroyed the Dragon Abrams/M60 mine plough from its out of the box configuration. Cut it to pieces in fact.. haha
FYI, a pretty good reference for a Leo mine plough can be found on Terry Ashley's site, and the folling link: http://www.perthmilitarymodelling.com/reference/armour/as1/as1d.htm
I think my Leo is a hybrid in some sense, because I added the grill on the rear right side of the turret which I think is related to the A/C unit, but I did not add the full extension on the rear of the turret (it started as an UNPROFOR vehicle with the turret stowage box, remember). If these two parts are related (i.e. the grill and the full turret extension, then I have made a big mistake on this model - Oh well. I will be very interested to see your model with the full A/C and APU units added. I would like to do that one day too.
Thanks again..!
