Summary of the Tamiya 35271 1/35 Leopard 2 A6 tank model

The Leopard 2 A6 marks an evolution in main battle tank design, fitted with a 55 caliber 120mm smoothbore main gun. This Tamiya 35271 kit reproduces the vehicle's enhanced armour and electric gun control features in plastic, offering an accurate representation for scale modellers and collectors.

Scale modelling considerations

At 1/35 scale the kit presents the Leopard 2 A6's main gun and wedge-shaped spaced armour with precise moulded parts. The set includes two half-body crew figures, plus transparent parts to simulate goggles, headlights and taillights, which help bring the model to life.

Suitability for collections

Finished, the Tamiya 35271 Leopard 2 A6 is an appealing exhibit for modern armour collections. Its size and detail level make it ideal for display cases or as the centrepiece of a diorama representing contemporary armoured operations.

Build time varies with experience and finishing choices. Expect several evenings for assembly and basic paint, and longer if you add weathering or aftermarket parts.
Aftermarket metal barrels, photo-etch details and stowage sets are commonly used to enhance realism, but the out-of-box Tamiya 35271 build is already highly detailed.
Subtle chipping, light dusting and wash work well on contemporary armour. Use references to match paint schemes and to ensure weathering reflects operational conditions.
Yes. With its size and detail, the Leopard 2 A6 is well suited to ground-level dioramas depicting modern armoured scenes.
