The Leopard Workshop offers a new set of Diehl D139E2 Tracks and Sprockets for the Leopard 1, and a conversion to 2A6M+ for the Leopard 2.
All early production Leopard 1s (the first four batches) and other variants in the family (Bergepanzer 2, Pionierpanzer 1, Biber) were delivered with D139E2 tracks which had rubber blocks with chevron-shaped shoes.

The Dutch Army also used the same tracks throughout most of the life of all of their Leopard 1-based vehicles.

These tracks from Leopard Workshop are link and length that click together with ball and socket joints.

As for the conversion, the Leopard 2A6M+ is currently entering service with the Bundeswehr. It is an upgrade of existing 2A6 and 2A6M as part of ongoing depot maintenance. Once all vehicles have been converted, the + designation will be changed back to Leopard 2A6M.

The external differences are mine belly plate, reinforcement strakes under the hull rear, Ultra-cap behind the commander's cupola, telephone box, new tow cable brackets on the hull rear and 6+2 smoke launchers.

The set from Leopard Workshop is intended for the Tamiya Leopard 2A6 covers these differences using several resin parts and photo etch chain.
