Add authentic muzzle detail to your Leopard 2 A7V with Tamiya 12694

For scale modellers aiming for higher authenticity on a 1/35 Leopard 2 A7V, the Tamiya 12694 metal barrel is a simple but effective upgrade. Turned from aluminium, it gives a convincing metallic appearance and a cleaner profile than the standard kit barrel.

Construction and scale accuracy

The Tamiya 12694 barrel is made from quality aluminium to maintain shape and finish. Its design removes visible mould lines, speeding up build time. Supplied plastic components for the muzzle tip, bore evacuator and rear section are intended to work with Tamiya Item 35387 for exacting scale detail.

Why this upgrade matters

Fitting a metal barrel refines the model's visual impact and echoes the engineering presence of the Leopard 2 A7V. Even subtle upgrades like this help display models look more true to the full size vehicle.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Aluminum
  • Compatibility: Tamiya 35387 Leopard 2 A7V
  • Assembly: No glue required for barrel
Painting is optional. The aluminium finish looks authentic out of the box, but light weathering or subtle paint work can help match the rest of your Leopard 2 A7V build. Use primers suitable for metal before topcoat.
The barrel is designed around the dimensions of Tamiya Item 35387. Some aftermarket mantlets may require minor modification. Check fit on the bench and trim very carefully if needed to avoid stressing the metal part.
Handle with clean hands to avoid fingerprints. If the aluminium is painted, protect the finish with a clear coat. For bare metal, a light coat of microcrystalline wax can prevent tarnish while preserving the look.
