Description
The Leopard 2 is a third generation German main battle tank (MBT). Developed by Krauss-Maffei in the 1970s, the tank entered service in 1979 and replaced the earlier Leopard 1 as the main battle tank of the West German army.
Leopard 2A5 had most of its improvements focused on armour protection; it was enhanced by adding external add-on modules to the turret and replacing the turret’s internal armour modules with ones of newer, improved composition. The interior received spall liners to reduce fragments if the armour is penetrated. The commander’s sight was moved to a new position behind the hatch and it received an independent thermal channel. The gunner’s sight was moved to the turret roof as opposed to the cavity in the front armour in previous models. A heavier sliding driver’s hatch was fitted.
Set consists of 15 fine 3D-printed models. Models are sold with print supports and need side-cutters and hobby knife to remove them.
