Revell 03187 Leopard 2 A5 / A5NL (1/72) – plastic model tank kit

The Revell 03187 Leopard 2 A5 / A5NL 1/72 scale kit is a high-quality plastic assembly model, designed for military modellers and collectors interested in modern armoured technology. The model represents the powerful German main battle tank Leopard 2 in the A5 variant, as well as its Dutch A5NL version. The kit does not include glue or paints.

Historical background and use

The Leopard 2 A5 is one of the most advanced main battle tanks of the Cold War and modern times. Introduced into service with the German Bundeswehr in the mid-1990s, it features modern composite armour with add-on wedge-shaped plates, an advanced fire control system, and high mobility. The A5NL is the version used by the Royal Netherlands Army (Koninklijke Landmacht). The Leopard 2 A5 was used in, among others, NATO stabilization missions and allied exercises. Its reliability and combat effectiveness are widely appreciated among military professionals.
