1988 Leopard 2A4 361st Panzer Battalion – Panzerkampf 1:72: Scale, Subject & Display Guide
The product behind this guide is 1988 Leopard 2A4 361st Panzer Battalion – Panzerkampf 1:72. Because similar scale model tanks products can share brand names or photographs, the analysis below keeps the Panzerkampf title, SKU and live image set tied together as one record.
Matching the exact listing
- Exact product: 1988 Leopard 2A4 361st Panzer Battalion – Panzerkampf 1:72
- Brand or vendor: Panzerkampf
- Product type: Scale Model Tanks
- SKU or catalog key: F977-12226PH
- Scale stated in the record: 1:72
- Year appearing in the identity: 1988
- Variants reviewed: 1
- Product images indexed: 3
The recorded price at verification was $68.14 before shipping and tax. At least one variant was orderable when the record was checked.
The scale marker 1:72 is part of the exact identity and should be matched before purchase. The year 1988 belongs to the listing identity; it should not automatically be treated as the manufacturing date of the item. The working catalog key is F977-12226PH. That key should travel with the saved URL and product image so a later comparison does not collapse this item into another scale model tanks listing.
Evidence taken from the live record
The product page identifies the item this way: “Leopard 2A4 main battle tank in Bundeswehr 361st Panzer Battalion Certain Challenge West Germany markings from 1988 by Panzerkampf. This 1:72 scale Armor Premium diecast model is intended for collector display. Review the listing photos for the exact markings, camouflage and packaging. Item: 12226PH.” That excerpt anchors the guide, while the gallery, SKU and selected variant provide the remaining evidence needed for an exact match.
The category-specific decision
Use a collector-style inspection on 1988 Leopard 2A4 361st Panzer Battalion – Panzerkampf 1:72: confirm the casting silhouette, visible finish, graphic layout, wheel and tire combination, base details, interior color and package state shown. These details create the release identity. Price or brand recognition alone cannot establish that another car is equivalent.
If the item will be customized, photograph and record its starting condition first. If it will remain original, store it so metal edges, wheels and printed surfaces do not rub adjacent models. The decision depends on the exact item represented by F977-12226PH, not on a generic diecast workflow.
A closer project or collection check
The exact item should drive the decision. A collector seeking an original release, a builder seeking a donor casting and a gift buyer seeking a recognizable subject may all evaluate the same listing differently. Recording those intended uses prevents condition or packaging details from being overlooked.
Keep the invoice, SKU and one reference photograph with the collection record so the item can later be distinguished from a close variant.
Image-by-image verification
The gallery contains 3 indexed product images. Compare label text, package shape, visible contents, finish and any small identifying marks with the delivered item. A context image can show tools or related products that are not included, so the written record and selected option still control package contents.
Checks to complete before ordering
- Match the full title and F977-12226PH.
- Confirm the selected variant and displayed quantity.
- Review the exact image set for the distinguishing details named above.
- Resolve every missing fit, scale, material or compatibility point from current instructions.
- Check live price and availability immediately before ordering.

Preserving the identity trail
A useful record for 1988 Leopard 2A4 361st Panzer Battalion – Panzerkampf 1:72 includes the original URL, SKU F977-12226PH, package or item photographs, option selected and any instructions. If the product is modified or consumed, photograph the starting state first and record the materials or companion products used.
Those notes create a reproducible history without rewriting an assumption as a fact.
Gift considerations
The exact title makes this a specific rather than universal gift. Confirm that the recipient wants this release, quantity and format; a closely related item may not be interchangeable.
Questions answered by the exact listing

The complete title, F977-12226PH, vendor Panzerkampf, product type Scale Model Tanks and photographed item form the identity. None should be replaced by a generic category label.
