Dragon 3550 MBT 70 (KPz 70) 1/35 – Plastic Model Tank Kit

Presenting the Dragon 3550 MBT 70 (KPz 70) model in the popular 1/35 scale, which faithfully replicates the experimental German-American main battle tank from the Cold War era. The MBT 70 (Main Battle Tank 70), known in Germany as the KPz 70, was an innovative project jointly developed by the USA and West Germany from 1963 to 1970, intended as the successor to the Patton and Leopard 1 tanks. Although the program was eventually canceled due to high costs and complexity, the KPz 70 went down in history as a vehicle ahead of its time in terms of technology – including hydropneumatic suspension, an automatic loading system, and advanced armament (a 152 mm gun capable of firing MGM-51 Shillelagh missile rounds).
