Kampfpanzer 07 P(E) 1:100

In the summer of 1963, the Bundestag's Defense Committee approved the production of a batch of 50 Leopard 0 tanks, the first post-war West German tank. However, work was already underway on a new generation of tanks, which were planned to enter production in the early 1970s. The main requirements were the ability to fire on the move while traversing rough terrain, good mobility, the highest possible level of radiation protection, and a strict limit of 32 tons for the combat weight. The level of anti-shell protection was not given much attention, as high mobility and a low silhouette were considered essential for a tank's survival at that time. The project, developed by Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche KG in collaboration with Wegmann & Co., was presented for consideration in December 1963, but due to its weight approaching 60 tons, it was not accepted by the customer. The specifications of the vehicle may be subject to change without compensation.
