The Tamiya 35099 1/35 Federal German Flakpanzer Gepard kit reproduces a key Cold War anti-aircraft platform with careful attention to proportion and detail. Modellers who follow military armour will value the realistic turret layout and the accurate representation of the Oerlikon-Contraves twin 35mm system mounted on the Leopard chassis.
Introduced during the Cold War, the Gepard served to protect mechanised formations from air attack. Built on the Leopard tank running gear, its radar and rapid-firing twin cannons made it an effective short-range air defence solution in the Federal German inventory.
This Tamiya release provides finely moulded components, including movable road wheels and flexible rubber track sections to aid realistic positioning. The kit includes a search radar mast and mesh parts for hull detail, plus waterslide decals and adjustable gun barrels to allow varied display poses.
