Ok question, I have the HB #82404 STRV.122. But I want to build a Leopard A5/6. What parts do I need to buy from HB or if someone has the HB #82402 kit maybe an even trade.

Not sure about hull details etc, but the big problem is the turret. The Swedish tank has a large raised roof section around the hatches that isn't on the German version, so you'd need a whole new turret shell because of the way HB designed the parts. If you want an A5 you are best off getting the other kit.
