Description

This Model Foto Focus reference books includes color full-view and walkaround captioned photos of the last Leopard 1 introduced into the Bundeswehr.



It takes a thorough look around the exterior of the Leopard 1A5. For the modeler, this is the ultimate walkaround for an accurate model. For the armor enthusiast, it describes Leopard 1A5 in great detail.



Leopard 1 was originally conceived in the 1960s to face the threat of the Soviet T-54, T-55 and T-62. By 1980, it had to face the more formidable T-64 and T-72. Fitted with a revolutionary fire-control system, it was the first to use a laser rangefinder allowing all-weather, day or night, vision. Together with an upgrade in ammunition and many other modifications, it became the Ultimate Leopard 1.



This Model Foto Focus includes color full-view In-the Field and a large number of walkaround captioned photographs, making for a compelling collection of images. In its 80 pages are over 260 photos, some of which are full page size.
