Re-release of the Flakpanzer Gepard
How can you see that:
-Color of the tracks (black = rerelease)
-The color of the battery box (white = rerelease)
-The kit number, the original is numbered RT1603, the rerelease has 56003
New build, my winter warfare Gepard “Hellfire”
This had to be something different then the standard camouflage
Colours, as there are a couple of them around.
So decided to go with a winter theme, with a “twitch” as you won’t
See a camouflage job like this in real life, and, being made a Dutch tank
It is also a strange duck, as the Dutch army never had this type of Gepard ;)
The camo job is done by Peter from Belgium, but if you don’t like it, don’t
Blame him, it is painted exactly to my wishes.
Took my time to make the decals and paint the details, I am quite pride in how
It turned out, hope you guys like it also.
About every model in my collection has a little story how I got it,
This panzer was on the wish list for a while!
TC member Renken2000 gave me a great tip, thanks for that one mate!
After a few emails picked this one op in Belgium, ( Houthalen )
Well worth the drive over there! (including getting lost getting there ;) )
And had to be a bit quick, there where more interested. But luckily i was the first.
Real nice guy to deal with to!
The specs of the real thing are impressive, check this out;
it is based on the Leopard 1 chassis, in real short,
Take a leopard 1 tank, kick the turret away,
Put a double 35mm anti aircraft gun on top!
Long 8150 mm
Wide 3390 mm
Weight 46000 kg
Engine 10 cylinder diesel, 860 hp
Crew 3
Weapons 2 cannon, 35 mm

Yep, criminals, watch out! This tank has orders 'shoot at will'
Nice tank When I was in maron spain the mall in town had one for sale that was in 1997 1998 should have bought it. I almost bought one in the eighties my father tried to talk me into it but I wanted a fast car like anyother 7 year old at the time.
