Tamiya 35242 Leopard 2 A5 1/35 Scale Military Modelling Kit  [35242]

Leopard 2 A5 Scale Reproduction

The Tamiya 35242 Leopard 2 A5 is rendered at 1/35 scale to reflect the German main battle tank's form and surface detail. The model emphasises the A5 variant's distinctive sloped turret plating and realistic panel lines for accurate finishing.

Historical Notes on the Leopard Line

The Leopard 2 series moved German armour forward with upgrades like the Rheinmetall 120mm smoothbore gun and enhanced protection suites. The 2A5's external wedge armour is modelled here to show the variant's altered silhouette and defensive layout.

What to Expect During the Build

This Tamiya kit provides movable turret side armour and a sliding drivers hatch along with a gun-fire simulator and a commander figure. Attention to seam filling and paint preparation will yield the best results for display.
