Leopard 2A4 with L55?

Shuttlecat · 01-20-2008, 22:24 PM

I'm a model builder and I'm building a 1/72 Leopard 2 A4. The kit comes with two barrels, a short one that I believe is the L44, and a long one that says in the directions I'm not supposed to use. But I can convert it to make it fit. I put this topic here because I think it would get more answers than the modeling forum.

My question is, since I think it's a L55 meant for the Leopard 2A6 kit, are there any, or will there ever be any Leopard 2 A4's outfitted with the L55 barrel in real life?

I'm into doing somewhat out of the ordinary things on my models, and having the L55 I believe would be out of the ordinary, but I'm also hoping it's real. It's even going to be a Finnish Leopard when I'm done. . .

But anyway, thanks ahead of time.

to my best knowledge there is no a4 with the L55, only the A6 and the E version use it (which again is based on the A6).
