Brass Flakpanzer Gepard Tank Miniature — German Anti-Aircraft Vehicle Micro Model for Diorama

Twenty-two millimetres of Cold War air-defence, cast in solid brass.

This micro model captures the Flakpanzer Gepard — the German self-propelled anti-aircraft tank that served NATO forces from the 1970s onward. The twin 35mm autocannon turret, the distinctive search and tracking radar dishes fore and aft, and the Leopard-derived hull are all present at this scale. Cast using the lost-wax method, the detail in the turret, tracks, and radar components holds remarkably well for a piece 22mm long.

The antique brass finish gives it a campaign-worn quality straight from the casting. It sits naturally in a military diorama, on a moss or slate base, or as a standalone desk piece for armour enthusiasts. The bare brass also takes paint and weathering cleanly for those who want a finished NATO-scheme look.

Approx. 1/350 scale based on hand-measured dimensions — for accurate sizing, please refer to the product dimensions and images.

For Cold War armour collectors, NATO vehicle enthusiasts, diorama builders, or military miniature hobbyists.

Caring for Your Brass

Brass develops a natural patina over time — a sign of age and character, not damage. To keep the original shine, wipe occasionally with a soft dry cloth. Avoid prolonged moisture or harsh chemicals.

A small amount of blu-tack can help it sit securely on smooth surfaces.

Each piece is individually cast, so minor variations may occur.
