1:35 Leopard 2A6/A6M and SPz PUMA
03097/03096
Introduced in 1979, the Leopard 2 main battle
tank is still considered to be one of the best
combat vehicles in the world. A continuously
evolving development programme saw the
2A6 version enter service with the German
Army in 2001, carrying the powerful L55
Rheinmetall 120 mm cannon and capable of
reaching an impressive top speed on 72km/h.
It also offers a close range observation and
control system that acquires and evaluates
important target data that the digital fire control
system then utilises to direct the stabilised main
cannon. Carrying 3 crew and 6 infantrymen the
PUMA is currently undergoing operational
proving with the German Army and the first
vehicles are likely to go into service in 2013.
The later 2A6M variant offered enhanced mine
protection plus a number of internal modifications
to improve crew survivability. It is currently on
active service with a number of countries
including Canada, the Netherlands and Portugal.
Both the
PUMA
and
Leopard
model kits feature:
• Finely detailed surface structures
• Easy to assemble vinyl tracks
• Detailed smoke grenade launchers
• Rotating turret
• Elevating cannon
• Authentic decals
The PUMA armoured personnel carrier is the
most modern infantry vehicle to be developed
for the German Army. It combines the highest
levels of protection with excellent mobility and
firepower plus its modest weight makes it
extremely suitable for air transportation.

model kits as well as the complete range of

irst of all, can I say a huge
Francis’ completed model via our
web ‘Portal’.
This month’s ‘War-Zone’ looks
at Vietnam Armour, and to go with
that Pascal Bausset builds the
unusual 1:35 Perfect Scale
Modellbau kit of an M520 ‘GOER’
from the South East Asia conflict.
In our ‘Airbrush Armour’ feature
Jérôme Fournioux looks at how to
work with a 1:35 4.7cm Pak(t) auf
Pz.Kpfw. 35R (f) full-resin kit, and
produce a camouflage scheme
from Normandy, circa 1944, and in
our ‘Masterclass’ series Kevin Potts
builds the Bronco M24 Chaffee
‘Early’ using the Squadron/Signal
‘Walk Around’ book as his guide,
to produce a vehicle form the 4th
Armoured Division, NWETO. In the
next installment of the ‘Tank
Workbench – How-To’ features,
Leigh Jones shows you how to
produce a winter colour scheme
on a 1:72 Hanomag, and you can
also win a copy of this kit and
build along with Leigh in our
exclusive Revell competition.
For those keen on
contemporary Soviet armour then
we have a treat, as Jacek Golla
gives the 1:35 Tamiya T-72 a
reworking, adding mine rollers and
a ‘Super Dolly Parton’ turret, as
well as a host of other extra’s! Plus
we have all our usual all-inclusive
news, previews and reviews
sections in the ‘SMMI Centre’,
where you will find all the latest
kits, decals, accessories and books.
So, for the very best in military
modelling, make sure you keep
SMMI as your guide!
thank-you to all those
readers who have emailed
to say how much they
have enjoyed the ‘new
look’ SMMI, with our extended
format and scale plans. Well, the
good news is we have more of the
same, with even bigger and
brighter features planned for this
and future issues. Plus you will also
now be able to ‘see’ some of the
builds featured in our pages via our
‘SMMI Portal’, details of which you
can find elsewhere on this page.
In this months ‘Scale Military
Manual’ we look in detail at the
Meng-Model A-39 Tortoise, a true
‘British Heavyweight’ in all senses
of the word, and you have a full
model build, an extensive walk-
around, and of course those all
important scale plans! And if that
wasn’t enough, you can access a
full 360 degree view of David
