The Tamiya 35387 represents the Leopard 2 A7V in 1/35 scale, reflecting the modernised configuration of this German battle tank. The kit focuses on updated armour and external fittings, suited to modellers who prefer contemporary military subjects.
The A7V upgrade includes stronger frontal armour plating and additional side skirts for improved protection. The suspension has been adjusted to handle the increased weight, while the L/55 120mm main gun continues to provide long-range engagement capability up to around five kilometres. These features mirror the real world upgrades introduced from September 2021.
Tamiya has used fresh tooling to capture details like square headlights and altered turret geometry. Photo-etched mesh for the engine grille is supplied for fine texture, and the snap-fit track segments make running gear assembly more straightforward. Extras such as mudguards and turret stowage boxes add authentic touches at scale.
