It certainly does have interesting lines - and that second colour scheme down is quite something.

I don’t know much about this AFV but I seem to think there’s one in 1:35 somewhere.

Yup, Amusing Hobby does it in 1/35.

Currently, it is under development by Rheinmetall Landsysteme as a potential upgrade to Leo 2A4s for foreign users. It is not intended for German Army use.

Hmmm; I feel a What-If coming on - even if only pretend Bundeswehr in NATO-flage.

Future Main Battle Tanks are adding at least four loitering munitions for extended ISR and attack ranges beyond the main gun and line-of-sight. The General Dynamics Land Systems’ AbramsX has four loitering munitions in pop-up launchers.

Boots I am likely to be sent this for review and so if you want to tackle a review of it for the site you are welcome.

Darren, that’s very kind but I’m not really a small scale modeller much these days; I suspect I’d be approaching it from the wrong perspective.

I find the vehicle quite interesting and now that Gino’s identified the 1:35 version (above), who knows? But dear God - I’ve so many other projects that require my attention.

Sorry to have to decline your very kind offer.

It does look pretty interesting… Vespid seem to knock out some very well detailed kits. Definitely has the sleek what if potential… Even if it does go into production
