And found this one in 144th scale by Tomy Takar which looks like the version used in A Bridge Too Far.

Um... it appears that these tanks used in the movie sorta look a lot like the Leopard 1.

Thats 'cause they were.  They were Dutch Army Leopard 1s.  They also used a load of Hotchkiss carriers as well, mocked up to try and make them look like German WWII vehicles IIRC.

As rickshaw said, it is a 1/144  "film version" Leopard I made to 'resemble' a WWII Panzer.

on a similar note, there is a guy in japan who takes a whole host of standard 1/144 item and converts them into "movie look-a-likes"
usual fayre, but interesting none the less, Leoprads and Soviet tanks (T-34/T-55) into panzers, M3/OT-810 halftracks into sdlfz 251s etc
or even plain old  "mumbo jumbo" WWII affairs (whifs?)

I find the site very informative (vis-mod. vehicles form part of the stuff I'm fairly interested in).  :thumbsup:

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Not exactly Whiffs , but more likely "real" objects dreamed by Whiffers :

This thread where the poster Aspartam , according to  his avatar , has to be reliable on the subject , says the ship size KV has become real and there are some sphere tanks in page 3  , too.

RotorheadTX

I tripped over these two at the Modelkasten site....
