Help ID this ....
I found this toy plastic tank a long, long awhile ago that I used to play with it back in the 70s. The radar shield does fold down, turrents and guns move. What is this armor vehicle? I know it's a Leopard and I'm assuming it's German. Is there a model kit of one?

Flakpanzer Gepard. It’s based off of a Leopard hull. That looks like a Roco Minitanks kit.
There are a couple of 1/35 kits of this vehicle.

Roco mini tanks! Man, I remember those! I used to have a few but forgot what they were called. Orange packaging I remember.

Flakpanzer Gepard. One of the few armor kits I did. It’s just so cool looking. I did the Tamiya kit ages ago. I want to go skeet shooting in this 
Thanks,
John

The guns muzzles look like something out of Earth vs the Flying Saucers

Yep, Carlos got it. Flakpanzer Gepard. I'm still waiting for someone to release it in 1/72 scale.
