Scale Accuracy and Hobby-Grade Engineering

Hobbyists looking for a believable scale tank will appreciate the Tamiya Leopard 2 A7V. At 1/16 scale this model balances display-grade detail with components designed for active running and field use.

Authentic Visual Upgrades

The Leopard 2 A7V is noted for its modern protection and systems; Tamiya reflects those upgrades in the kit by adding features like squared headlights and additional armour details to match the modernised profile.

Chassis Dynamics for Varied Ground

Equipped with torsion bar independent suspension and sturdy die-cast suspension arms, the model soaks up rough surfaces while the pre-built tracks with rubber pads maintain reliable traction. The aluminium barrel and ABS chassis add to longevity.

Precision Controls and Real Sound Behaviour

The integrated DMD T-12 control unit gives accurate command of turret, gun and drive. Its sound system links engine noise to speed and provides separate firing effects, helping replicate the audible presence of a full-size tank.

This Tamiya Leopard 2 A7V suits modellers who want a historically inspired subject with operational depth, offering both display appeal and realistic running characteristics.

Yes, the torsion bar suspension and rubber-padded tracks handle grass and uneven surfaces, though very soft mud may reduce traction and increase wear.
The DMD T-12 synchronises engine sounds to vehicle speed, so audio feedback varies naturally as you accelerate and slow down.
Basic modelling tools like sprue cutters, fine files, hobby glue and a small screwdriver set are useful; sandpaper and touch-up paints help finish details.
If pads wear over time they can be replaced; check hobby suppliers for compatible rubber track pads or contact parts vendors for replacements.
