Improve muzzle realism on your Leopard 2 A7V with the Tamiya 12694 barrel

Modellers seeking sharper realism for a 1/35 Leopard 2 A7V can fit the Tamiya 12694 metal barrel. Turned from aluminium for an authentic metallic finish, this upgrade gives a cleaner and more accurate muzzle profile than the kit plastic part.

Finish and assembly notes

The Tamiya 12694 barrel is manufactured from aluminium to resist deformation and deliver a crisp outline. Its form removes visible parting lines, so builders spend less time on preparation. Plastic components for the tip, bore evacuator and rear end accompany the barrel to match Tamiya Item 35387.

Context for model accuracy

Using a metal barrel enhances how the model represents the Leopard 2 A7V's main armament, lending the finished build a more convincing scale appearance on display shelves and in collections.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Aluminum
  • Compatibility: Tamiya 35387 Leopard 2 A7V
  • Assembly: No glue required for barrel
Prepare aluminium with a fine degrease and a suitable primer for metal before topcoating. Light sanding with very fine abrasive between coats will help paint adhesion and achieve an even finish.
Yes, the barrel works well with additional detail sets provided they are sized for the 1/35 Leopard 2 A7V. Always test-fit components and allow for small clearances when using photo-etch or resin mantlets.
Avoid touching visible surfaces with oily fingers to prevent marks. Use soft jaws on clamps and protect finished areas when test fitting. If minor scuffs appear, polish gently or touch up with paint as required.
