Tamiya 35387 1/35 Leopard 2 A7V Main Battle Tank

This model kit recreates the Leopard 2 A7V in 1/35 scale. Compared to the Leopard 2 A6 model kit, which was released in 2004, this kit uses completely new parts and tooling. The Leopard 2 A7V is an improved version of A7 (A7 is improved version of A6 and the "V" in the A7V designation stands for "verbessert" (improved) ) and features additional hull front armour and side skirts for improved defense. The suspension was also improved to help deal with the tank's extra weight. The A7V inherits the A6's L/55 120mm gun, but with the updated shell, the A7V can take on enemy armour up to five kilometers away. Units began receiving the A7V in September 2021 and A7Vs saw further improvements such as turret-top stowage boxes and main sight visor.
