This is an RC Canadian Leopard C2 MEXAS in 1/16 scale. The Leopard C2 is the older Leopard 1A4 chassis upgraded with a German surplus Leopard 1A5 turret, Canadian designed modifications and Modular Expandable Armor System (MEXAS).
The model has the following features;

- AFV-Model Leopard 1 Diehl Typ D640A metal tracks with rubber pads
- Scratch built MEXAS add-on supplemental armor and Canadian custom modifications, such as the rear turret bins, machine gun mount, other small details.
- Mato Panther twin gearbox replacing the old Tamiya clutch gearbox.
- Clark TK-60 control board
- DKLM metal gun recoil and gun elevation unit, with flash and sound.
- AFV Model headlights with LEDs, rear tool and phone box, gun travel mount

It should normally be pictured in a desert environment but i pictured it outside for better perspective.
