The first series vehicle was handed over to the Bundeswehr on 9 September 1965, and the design quickly drew orders from other NATO members. Belgium became the first export customer, receiving 334 Leopard 1BE tanks between 1968 and 1971. These tanks equipped eight Belgian tank regiments and the Armour School, and the 4th Lancers was the first regiment to receive the new type. From 1974 the Belgian vehicles were modified with a gun stabilization system and an automatic fire control system supplied by SABCA, allowing the main gun to fire effectively on the move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Features \u0026amp; Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1:72 scale Panzerkampf diecast model\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDetailed cast-style turret with two roof hatches and a pintle-mounted machine gun\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLong main gun barrel with fume extractor and dark muzzle end\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSearchlight housing mounted above the gun mantlet, with cable detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGrey cover over the gun mantlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTurret rear stowage rack with storage bin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracks with detailed road wheels, drive sprockets and a weathered brown finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFender stowage with painted tools and tow cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEngine deck grilles and detailed rear hull with red tail lights, stowage box and mudflaps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFront headlights with clear lenses\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-tone green finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFront markings with number 027 and yellow bridge classification disc 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRegistration 54575 with unit insignia on the front and rear hull\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pending manufacturer confirmation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Panzerkampf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47144261812326,"sku":"12227PA","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0277\/5197\/2966\/files\/12227PA_1.jpg?v=1788996448","url":"https:\/\/motorcityclassicsinc.com\/products\/leopard-1-belgian-army-landmacht-force-terrestre-4th-lancers-54575-027-soest-west-germany-1969","provider":"Motor City Classics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
