A note about this Model Kit from the UK Importers

This model comes with ERA Blocks (Explosive Reactive Armour)  and Ukraine markings.

There are no instructions for these parts.

The front of the box shows roughly where to place the ERA (but there is no set pattern or how many you use, (Just like the real tanks)).

The Ukraine markings are again subjective all we know is the basic information.

Some Ukrainian Leopards have the Ukrainian flag on the front of the side plate, where the crosses would go on the German version.

Exact unit markings are known only to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

After the US Pentagon leaks that gave out Ukraine unit dispositions before the summer counterattack, the Ukrainians have been very tight-lipped.

We suggest doing some research and looking at footage of the Ukrainian tanks to complete this kit.

Once this war is over then no doubt all the information will be available, but as this is an ongoing conflict exact information, is not and, should not be known.
