Revell 03311 1/72 SLT 50-3 Elefant and Leopard 2A4

The SLT 50 is a heavy duty tractor unit and tank transporter used by the German Army and Polish Army.

To replace the first generation tank transporter then in use, as well as to be able to haul the armoured vehicles then in service (among them the Leopard 1 Main Battle Tank), the German Army asked Faun GmbH to develop a new all-terrain heavy tractor, and in parallel Krupp was asked to develop the tank transport semi-trailer.

The result was the SLT 50-2 tractor and the 52-ton SaAnh semi-trailer. The combination was first tested in 1971. The first production combination was delivered in April 1976. Some 324 were built up to 1979, in one series, by Faun (tractor) and Kässbohrer (trailer, under Krupp license).

Model kit consisting of the SLT 50-3 "Elefant" and Leopard 2A4. With its 8x8 all-wheel drive and a payload of 52 tons, the SLT is undoubtedly the ideal transporter for vehicles in the weight class of a leopard.
