Leopard 1 Main Battle Tank in 1/35 scale

Tamiya's 35064 presents the Leopard 1 MBT in 1/35 scale, delivering a faithful plastic representation of this influential NATO armoured vehicle. The kit is aimed at modellers who value historical accuracy and fine detail.

Context and engineering highlights

The Leopard 1 played a central role in West Germany's armoured forces after World War II, equipped with the widely used L7A1 105mm gun. Its multi-fuel engine and ability to ford significant depths were notable features, and the model reflects these aspects through detailed components and accurate proportions.

Suitability for display and collectors

With precise moulding and well-defined parts, this Tamiya kit makes a strong display model once finished. It suits collections focused on Cold War armour or those who prefer detailed static builds.

Yes. The 35064 offers accurate lines and recognisable detail that make it suitable for display in a Cold War armour collection.
Preparation is key: clean seams, apply primer and use reference photos for authentic camouflage or service colours. Thin coats and weathering techniques enhance realism.
Modelling magazines, online reference sites and historical books on Cold War armour offer decal patterns and unit paint schemes to help with accurate marking choices.
