... Work has progressed, not getting too carried away, so far it is mainly about the gun.
Mods around the jacket and maybe a calibre increase to say 130mm...
Love your barrel shroud 
Thanks, it was a bit of fun and the do look pretty cool.
As this is largely out of the box, and pretty simple, it has zoomed ahead as far as the build goes
Gun mods, the muzzle brake is a try out to see if I like it... so far... not so much. They are pretty much old school these days.
This kit has bundles of spare parts, for other Leopard II version. Given my thoughts are that this is a life extension upgrade and given recent events in the Ukraine where drones are taking out many tanks,
perhaps there is more thought given to Drone defences other than clumsy Cope Cages. I toying with modding the left over smoke launchers to an active drone defence system, mostly facing rear around the engine deck area where the Drone danger is highest. Perhaps sort of like a WW2 German S-Mine system active defence. Or even launched nets to tangle up the drone.
Might be less dangerous to close friendlies
Some blue tack engineering at this stage.
