Introducing the Tamiya 35387 1/35 Leopard 2 A7V model

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.

Design changes and battlefield role

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.

Assembly features and realism cues

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.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Length: 320mm
  • Width: 110mm
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires cement and paint

The kit uses snap-together track sections that interlock for a realistic look. They require careful alignment but avoid the need for individual glued links.
Tamiya has revised the turret contours to match the A7V profile more closely, including updated angles and panel lines compared with earlier Leopard 2 kits.
Use thin, layered coats with an airbrush for even coverage. Pre-shading and filter washes help replicate surface wear and depth on modern tank finishes.
