Snapshot of the Tamiya 35362 Leclerc Series 2

The Tamiya 35362 French Main Battle Tank Leclerc Series 2 is a 1/35 scale plastic assembly kit that reproduces the Leclerc's profile and surface detail with care. Enthusiasts will find parts laid out for accurate assembly and realistic surface textures.

Context and Collector Appeal

Honouring General Philippe Leclerc, the Leclerc tank is notable for its electronics and protection upgrades. The Series 2 variant reflects refinements introduced after the initial production run, making this model desirable to modern armour collectors and display builders.

Build Features and Workshop Tips

This Tamiya kit stands out for tidy moulding and matched fit between major components. The track assemblies, turret details, and hull fittings require patient trimming and careful painting to capture an authentic look. It suits modellers who enjoy a hands-on build and weathering work.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: High-quality plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Required for realistic finish
  • Parts: Includes detailed tracks and turret
Build time varies with experience, but expect several weekends for careful assembly, painting, and basic weathering if you work methodically.
This kit is designed as a static display model. Converting it to running condition requires aftermarket parts and significant modification to the hull and suspension.
Use washes, drybrushing, and pigment powders to simulate dust, wear, and panel grime. Subtle layering gives the most believable result.
