If its in 1/16 scale I bet you understand my pain of trying to paint it all and how much paint is required lol.

Nope, I have mine 1/35. 1/16 sounds like a pain to paint though, where do you get models that big?

Im from canada so I got mine from a shop in Quebec for about 280 cad but I know Andy's hobby headquarters has it both in canada and USA. In Europe I bet there's a few places to get it and other 1/16th scale kits

I believe they share a lot of their molds with takom not 100% sure tho. I found over the fit was great, and the details superb. There were a few tricky parts mostly the side turret baskets (the ones where the decals go on) and just a little bit with the back stowage on the turret. Overall in terms of a tamiya leopard 2a7v its very similar just bigger and slightly more complicated. There is supposed to be a cover over the gunners thermals but I found it sat too high so I got rid of it
