1/35 Leopard 1 MBT model - Cold War armour recreated

The Leopard 1 is captured in high fidelity by Tamiya in model 35064, offering a faithful 1/35 rendition of this influential main battle tank. The kit highlights the vehicle that became a staple of NATO armoured units in the 1960s and beyond.

Introduced as West Germany rebuilt its armoured capability, the Leopard 1 combined mobility with the NATO-standard L7A1 105mm gun.
