Overview: Tamiya 35387 in 1/35 scale

The Tamiya 35387 kit models the Leopard 2 A7V at 1/35 scale, reflecting the updated protection and external fittings of this modern German main battle tank. It is well suited to modellers aiming to depict current service vehicles with accurate surface detail.

Protection upgrades and technical brief

The A7V variant introduces increased frontal armour and added side skirts for better survivability. The upgraded suspension compensates for the added weight, and the L/55 120mm gun remains capable of engaging targets at distances up to five kilometres. These modifications started to be fielded from September 2021.

Scale fidelity and kit highlights

Tamiya has provided new parts and tooling to capture features like square headlights and modified turret shapes. Photo-etched parts for the engine grille mesh increase fine detail, while the snap-fit track sections simplify undercarriage assembly. Small inclusions such as mud flaps and turret stowage boxes improve the model's authenticity.
