World War III: Team Yankee West German Leopard 1 Panzer Zug (Plastic) New

1 West German Leopard 1 Panzer Zug box set contains:

• 5 Leopard 1 Plastic Tanks
• 1 Plastic Tank Commander Sprue
• 1 Decal Sheet
• 3 Unit Cards

Though lightly armoured, the Leopard 1 tank is fast and well armed, with a 105mm L7 gun that is more than capable of dealing with any scouting vehicles of Warsaw Pact.

Even though the powerful Leopard 2 main battle tank is now in service throughout the panzer brigades, the Leopard 1 tank has not been retired. One of its roles is now as part of the divisional Panzeraufklärungs battalions in the schwere Panzeraufklärungs Kompanien (heavy armoured reconnaissance companies) and gemischte Panzeraufklärungs Kompanie (mixed armoured reconnaissance company).

Since its inception in 1949, NATO has been a community of free nations brought together with a common goal, to defend the freedom of Western Europe and North America. To do this Canada, France and the Netherlands deploy armoured and mechanised forces in West Germany.
