Information
The Basis of the Gepard weapon system is the remarkable Oerlikon-Contraves 35mm which was developed and put into production in the early 1960´s. During the 1960´s, two prototypes were produced. The Oerlikon, which was chosen for production, became the Flakpanzer Gepard, which was essentially a standard Leopard with the ordinary turret replaced by the Oerlikon-Contraves twin 35/90mm AA turret and associated auxiliary equipment.
This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit depicting the Gepard, a post-WWII anti-aircraft tank operated by West Germany.

★Metal net is included in the kit to recreate engine deck grille details.
