LEOPARD 2A6 /A6M
03180-0389 2011 BY REVELL GmbH & Co. KG PRINTED IN GERMANY
LEOPARD 2A6 /A6M LEOPARD 2A6 /A6M
Ab 2001 wurde die Bundeswehr mit dem Leopard 2A6 ausgestattet, welcher als
Verbesserung zum Leopard 2A5 eine um 1,3 m längere Bordkanone (L55) hatte,
die in Kombination mit neuer Munition zur stärksten der Welt gezählt werden
kann. Bereits drei Jahre später wurde der erste, im Minenschutz verbesserte
Leopard 2A6M an die Bundeswehr übergeben. Von 225 Leopard 2A6 erhielten
70 diesen zusätzlichen Schutz. Damit hat die Bundeswehr auf Basis der erfolgrei-
chen, zuverlässigen und leistungsstarken Leopard 2-Familie ein Fahrzeug, wel-
ches weltweit eine Spitzenposition einnimmt und in den Bereichen Wirkung und
Minenschutz nochmals besonders hervorsticht.
Der Leopard 2 ist trotz seines Alters (Übergabe der ersten Fahrzeuge 1979) nach
wie vor ein gefragtes Modell. 16 Nationen haben ihn neu herstellen lassen oder
Überbestände anderer Länder übernommen. Es gibt noch immer neue
Interessenten. Die Kanadische Armee, die eigentlich alle Kampfpanzer abschaf-
fen wollte, änderte aufgrund des Afghanistan-Einsatzes ihren Plan. 20 Leopard
2A6M sind seit 2007 aus Bundeswehrbeständen entliehen, modifiziert worden
und im kanadischen Einsatz. Dabei bewies der zusätzliche Minenschutz überzeu-
gend seine Wirkung. Explosionen, die andere Fahrzeuge in Stücke gerissen hät-
ten, führten maximal zur Verwundung des Fahrers. Kein Besatzungsmitglied kam
zu Tode. Diese Erfahrung führte zum Kauf weiterer Leopard 2.
Im Laufe der über die Jahre eingeführten Verbesserungen und Kampfwert -
steigerungen erhöhte sich das Gewicht insbesondere mit der Panzerung um ca.
7 Tonnen, die Beweglichkeit als hervorzuhebendes Merkmal konnte aber erhal-
ten werden. Grundsätzlich ist der Leopard 2 als einfach zu bedienendes
Waffensystem konzipiert. Weltweit sind zwar zahlreiche Munitionsarten verfüg-
bar, die Bundeswehr verfolgt aber nach wie vor das Zwei-Sorten-Prinzip. Beim
Schaden im Triebwerk kann dieses in 20 Minuten getauscht werden, vorausge-
setzt ein Bergepanzer „Büffel“ und ein Ersatztriebwerk stehen zur Verfügung.
Während der Kampfpanzer wieder am Kampfgeschehen teilnehmen kann, küm-
mert sich das Instandsetzungspersonal um den schadhaften Antrieb.
Zurzeit setzen folgende Nationen den Leopard 2 in verschiedenen Versionen ein
(in der Reihenfolge der Einführung): Deutschland, Niederlande, Schweiz,
Schweden, Spanien, Dänemark, Österreich, Norwegen, Polen, Finnland,
Griechenland, Türkei, Chile, Singapur, Portugal, Kanada.
Technische Daten:
Besatzung: 4 Mann
Bewaffnung: 120 mm Glattrohr-Kanone; 2x 7,62 mm MG3/A1
Gewicht: 65 Tonnen
Max. Geschwindigkeit: 70km/h
Fahrbereich: 400 – 500 km
Motor: MTU 1.200 kw (1.500 PS), wassergekühlt
From 2001 the German Army was equipped with the Leopard 2A6 which, as an
improvement over the Leopard 2A5, had a gun (L55) that was 1.3 m longer
which, in combination with new munitions, can be regarded as the most pow-
erful in the world. Only three years later the first Leopard 2A6M with improved
anti-mine protection was delivered to the German Army. Of 225 Leopard 2A6s,
70 received this additional protection. This gave the German Army a vehicle,
based on the successful, reliable and high-performance Leopard 2 family, that
took a worldwide lead and was particularly outstanding in the fields of effec-
tiveness and mine protection.
The Leopard 2, despite its age (first vehicle delivered in 1979) is still a model in
great demand. 16 nations have had new ones built or have taken over surplus
stock from other countries. New customers are still showing interest. The
Canadian Army, who actually wished to get rid of all their battle tanks, changed
their plans due to their operations in Afghanistan. Since 2007, 20 Leopard 2A6Ms
have been borrowed from German stock, modified and are in Canadian use. The
additional mine protection proved particularly effective. Explosions, which would
have had broken other vehicles to pieces, at worst only wounded the drivers. No
crew member was killed. This experience caused them to buy more of the
Leopard 2.
During the improvements and upgrades to combat effectiveness introduced
over the years, the weight increased by about 7 tonnes, mainly due to the
armour, however it was possible to maintain the manoeuvrability as a prominent
feature. Basically the Leopard 2 is designed as a weapons system that is easy to
operate. Although numerous types of munitions are available throughout the
world, the German Army still follows the two type principle. In cases of damage
to the drive unit, this can be replaced in 20 minutes provided that a “Buffel”
armoured recovery vehicle and a spare power unit are available. While the battle
tank can return to take part in the battle, the repair personnel can deal with the
damaged power unit.
At present the following nations use the Leopard 2 in a variety of versions (in
order of introduction): Germany, Holland, Switzerland, Sweden, Spain, Denmark,
Austria, Norway, Poland, Finland, Greece, Turkey, Chile, Singapore, Portugal,
Canada.

Should I paint my Revell model before or after it is built? Verified

Revell recommends painting it before building it. In some cases it is smart to partially assemble pieces if they all need to be painted in the same colour.
