Leopard 2 : NATO's First Line of Defence, 1979-2020 Paperback / softback
by David Grummitt
Part of the Tank Craft series
Paperback / softback
Description
When the Leopard 2, a third-generation main battle tank, first entered service with the Bundeswehr in 1979, at the height of the Cold War, it was indisputably the most advanced and potent tank in the world.
During the last four decades it has undergone numerous upgrades and modifications to ensure it remains one of the most powerful tanks operating today.
It currently serves with the armies of seventeen nations, from Canada to Turkey and including many European states. The Leopard 2 is also a popular subject for modellers which is why David Grummitt's highly illustrated expert guide is so valuable.
As well as describing in detail the Leopard 2's design, development and combat history, he gives a full account of the wide range of modelling kits and accessories available in all the popular scales.
Included is a modelling gallery, which features six builds covering a range of Leopard 2s serving with different nations and a section of large-scale colour profiles which provide both reference and inspiration for modellers and military enthusiasts alike.
