From the country that developed the Panther and the
Tiger, the Leopard proves once again why Germany is considered the
best battle tank producer in the world. Following upgrades since initial
production in 1979, the latest upgrade to the Leopard was the addition
of a 55 caliber 120mm smoothbore main gun in 2001, leading to the
Leopard 2 A6. The new cannon provides higher projectile velocity with
increased range and penetration, and when combined with the electric
gun control and stabilization system, is lethally accurate even while
on the move. Add to this wedge shaped spaced armor and a high-performance
turbo-charged diesel engine and you have the perfect balance of firepower,
armor protection and mobility. This fully assembled, accurately detailed
model comes pre-painted in NATO coloring with markings representing
the 104 Panzer Battalion.
