Trumpeter 1/72 Leopard 2A6EX Tank Scaled Plastic Model Kit
The Leopard 2E, a formidable beast of a tank, isn't just any battle machine. It's a symbol of collaboration, born from a joint effort between Spain and Germany. This powerful derivative of the Leopard 2A5a emerged from a 1995 program, where the two nations' defence ministries agreed to work together. The program wasn't just about building tanks; it was about fostering close ties. To kickstart things, Germany graciously handed over 108 Leopard 2A4s to the Spanish Army for a five-year period. This not only bolstered Spain's defences but also laid the groundwork for the future. By 1998, it was all systems go. Spain's cabinet officially approved the co-manufacturing contract, entrusting Santa Bárbara Blindados (SBB) with the crucial role of leading the project. What's truly remarkable is that the Leopard 2E/EX and its components wouldn't just be assembled in Spain they would be made in Spain, boasting German technological expertise.
