The Leopard 2 was developed to replace the Leopard 1 and entered service with the West German Bundeswehr in 1979. The tank combined advanced armour protection with a 120 mm Rheinmetall gun and a powerful 1,500 hp MTU diesel engine. This provided an excellent balance of firepower, protection and mobility. The Leopard 2A4 was introduced from the mid-1980s onwards and became one of the most important and widely operated versions. This variant received an improved digital fire-control system, enhanced armour and a further developed turret. Thanks to its reliability and versatility, the Leopard 2A4 was also adopted by several other NATO countries, including the Netherlands.

The model captures the defining features of the Leopard 2A4, including its angular turret, long gun barrel and robust tracked chassis.
