A Leclerc tank made by XLR
1:87 scale model of the Leclerc tank
While we wait for its big brother in 1/48th scale, here's a model of the Leclerc tank in 1/87th scale.
It may not be obvious at first glance, but this model measures just 12 cm, and as the images in this article show, the quality of our work is always top-notch.
Quality artwork, an essential tool for your promotion
It's not the size of the model that determines its quality, but the materials used for each specific application.
The assembly of the anti-RPG grids requires meticulous attention to detail. As you can see, the grid supports are true to life, and at this scale this requires meticulous craftsmanship, which we have mastered
The reproduction of the Herstal turret posed no problem, and we took the opportunity to make steel molds to produce good quality plastic machine guns at this scale.
The Leclerc XLR tank, part of the French Scorpion program
The XLR model of the Leclerc tank is the modernized version of the French "Scorpion" program, designed to network with other vehicles such as the Griffon and Jaguar.
Key improvements include protection, connectivity and armament.
Protection features include reinforced composite armor against IEDs, an Active Protection System (APS) to intercept missiles, and the AZUR kit for urban combat.
Equipped with the SICS (SCORPION Command and Information System), it shares tactical data in real time with other units, optimizing coordination and decision-making.
Armament has been upgraded with a Herstal remotely operated turret and the ability to fire programmable 120 mm ammunition.
The suspension has been reinforced and the interior fittings modernized to enhance crew efficiency.
