Product Description
These springs are the missing detail on all Italeri/Revell Leopard 1 & Leopard 2 kits (bar the most recent “early” Leo 1), and help make the turret roof look realistic. There are two different Loader’s hatch springs – “open” and “closed”. Start by shaving off the kit details for the mechanism, and add the spring of choice. (See pictures.)
Other Leo-related details are available elsewhere in my Shop.
Tip – wash everything gently in warm soapy water and rinse before using. Sometimes parts still have a little oil or wax adhering that needs to be removed before paint will stick properly.
[General Shapeways disclaimer: I only design the parts – Shapeways does the printing. If you are not entirely satisfied with the print quality (they can sometimes ship sub-par prints - it happens!) then please contact Shapeways Customer Service directly to complain and ask for a reprint. They usually expect you to supply photos to prove the defects, before you do anything to the parts!]
