TAMIYA 1/35 German Main Battle Tank Leopard 2 A7V Model Kit 35387

Tamiya 1/35 German Main Battle Tank Leopard 2 A7V Model Kit In May 2017 it was decided to give the Bundeswehr Leopard 2 tank an upgrade in the form of the Leopard 2 A7V; building upon the A7 variant, the A7V has additional hull front armour to increase its survivability, with new running gear to compensate for the extra weight. Its L/50 120mm gun is a carryover from the A6 variant which - when using the latest ammunition - can take on enemy armour up to five kilometres away. Other design evolutions include a sight device to amplify vision in poor visibility, new tracks and a new turret rear basket. 104 existing tanks are to be upgraded to A7V spec, and units began receiving them in September 2021. SPECIFICATIONS: Length: 320mm Width: 110mm   FEATURES: Tamiya designers conducted extensive research of the full-size vehicle, and have recreated A7V features such as the additional front armour, hull rear and hull side shape. Mud flaps are depicted on the turret rear sides. Photo-etched parts for engine grille mesh and turret-side basket sections give a crisp, detailed finish. The model comes with commander and loader torso figures, with a choice of headwear. Three marking options are included.   Paints and glue are required to complete this model kit. Not included.
