New from Modelltrans Modellbau is its kit on the Gepard mobile AA platform.
Based on a lengthened Leopard 1 chassis, the Gepard (Cheetah) is a German self-propelled anti-aircraft gun developed late in the Cold War. Armed with two 35mm Oerlikon KDA autocannon, each gun fires at 550 rounds per minute. The Gepard is a very capable anti-aircraft gun with enormous firepower and good fire control equipment.

Modelltrans Modellbau depicts the Gepard 1A1, an improved variant that featured a laser range finder. Kit MT72196 is a complete resin kit in 1/72 scale.
