Scanning the Skies
Originally released in the 1970s as a radio controlled model, Tamiya's big 1/16 scale Gepard is making a return as an assembly kit display model. The Gepard featured the most advanced anti-aircraft system of its time, and in upgraded form, is still in service with several militaries today. This imposing model faithfully captures the self-propelled AA gun's impressive details. The tracking radar is movable and can be depicted in traveling position, while the surveillance radar rotates 360° and can be depicted in stowed position. Furthermore, various display positions are possible since the metal torsion bar springs enable realistic suspension movement and the rear section of the box-shaped turret may be posed open.
About the Gepard
The German Flakpanzer Gepard featured the most advanced anti-aircraft fire control system at that time. It used the Leopard chassis and was equipped with a turret with two Oerlikon 35mm guns which had a maximum firing rate of 550 rpm and a range of 4,000m. The computerized firing system included tracking and surveillance radars which provided excellent target detection and firing accuracy. Production of the Gepard began in 1975 and they were deployed with the German army as well as exported to the Netherlands, Belgium, Romania, and Chile.
