Conceived in the 1960s to improve NATO armour capabilities, the Leopard 1 A5 combined mobility with straightforward mechanics. It became widespread among European nations such as Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway and Italy.
The Italeri 1/35 Leopard 1 A5 reproduces the vehicle's main features and silhouette. Part fit and surface detail allow builders to achieve convincing scale realism with careful painting and assembly.
Hobbyists will find a satisfying level of complexity in this kit. It demands careful trimming and alignment of parts, so it suits those with moderate modelling experience.
When complete, the Leopard 1 A5 makes a commanding display model. It works well on a dedicated plinth, in a display case or as part of a larger Cold War vehicle grouping.
