About This Item
This 1/72 scale diecast model of the Leopard 2A4 Main Battle Tank with Snorkel in green camouflage from the Panzerkampf Armor Premium Series features a detailed exterior, true-to-scale accuracy, and realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels, and surface detailing for an authentic representation of the real tank. Made of diecast metal with select plastic parts, it offers a weighty, realistic feel and includes a rotating turret and elevating cannon for dynamic display options, while the painted, fitted non-moving tracks on detailed non-rotating wheels enhance its precise appearance. The model comes in the manufacturer’s original unopened packaging with a plastic display stand and protective case, includes pad-printed markings that remain vibrant over time, and measures approximately 4.25 inches in length (5.25 inches with the cannon), 2 inches in width, and 1.75 inches in height. Representing the Leopard 2A4 developed in the 1970s by Krauss-Maffei for the West German Army, this variant is known for its composite armor, powerful Rheinmetall 120mm smoothbore gun, robust MTU MB 873 Ka-501 engine, and snorkel capability that allows deep-water fording. The real tank has served in peacekeeping missions such as IFOR and SFOR in Bosnia, where its mobility and reliability proved valuable, and it has also seen combat in recent Middle Eastern operations, including Turkish deployments against ISIS in Syria. This replica captures the engineering strength and battlefield presence of one of the world’s most respected main battle tanks, offering collectors a finely crafted and historically grounded addition to their collection.
