Leopard 1A5 120mm L/44 German Main Battle Tank — Scalable 1/144 To 1/32 (Multi-Part Kit)

Highly detailed model of the Leopard 1A5 120mm L/44, an experimental upgrade variant that paired the advanced Leopard 1A5 turret with the powerful Rheinmetall 120mm L/44 smoothbore cannon (the same gun used on the Leopard 2). This prototype represented a potential cost-effective upgrade path for older Leopard 1 fleets, combining proven mobility with next-generation firepower.

An essential addition to any German military prototype collection, experimental armor display, or modern tank evolution showcase. The distinctive Leopard 1A5 turret mounted with the massive 120mm cannon creates a unique hybrid appearance that bridges first and second generation MBT designs.

• Accurate representation of the Leopard 1A5 with experimental 120mm L/44 armament

• Multi-part kit with optimized component separation:
— Leopard 1A5 turret with EMES 18 fire control system
— Modified turret structure to accommodate 120mm cannon
— Hull with accurate armor profile and engine deck details
— Individual track runs for realistic detail
— 120mm L/44 cannon with thermal sleeve and muzzle brake
— MG3 machine gun for anti-infantry defense
— Spare lights and towing hooks provided
— External equipment, tools, and battlefield accessories

• Recommended scale range: 1/144 up to 1/48 (ideal detail-to-printability ratio)
• Pushable to 1/32 — possible but not recommended due to wall thickness limitations on fine details
• Default file scale is 1/100, can be scaled according to your desire
• Best printed from 1/100 up to 1/48 for optimal detail retention
• Unsupported, needs manual support (from now on all my models are not supported)
• Designed for intermediate level modellers

Printability:
• Files are separated to hull, tracks, turret, gun, and MG3 for optimal printing
• Hull and turret designed for hollow printing to reduce material usage
• Cannon components pre-sized for proper alignment
• Small parts (antennae, tools, equipment) sized for their respective scales
• Manual support required for overhangs and fine details
• Assembly instructions: install tracks, attach turret, mount 120mm cannon and MG3, add detail parts last

Whether you're building a German military prototype collection, experimental armor display, or documenting tank evolution, the Leopard 1A5 120mm L/44 brings unique firepower capabilities and distinctive presence to your collection.
