Tamiya 56002 - 1/16 Scale German Leopard A4 Collector RC Kit  [56002]

Detailed 1/16 Scale Leopard A4 for Scale and Running Displays

Collectors and RC modellers will find the Tamiya 56002 - 1/16 RC German Leopard A4 Tank Kit a faithful representation of the Leopard A4, a Cold War main battle tank noted for its protection and armament. The kit balances display-level detail with moving components for realistic operation.

Scale detail with practical suspension

The model reproduces hull panels and fittings with careful sculpting while its suspension is designed to behave like the real vehicle on uneven ground. The turret rotates smoothly and the main gun adjusts for elevation, adding to the build's operational authenticity.

Practical tips for a durable build

Assembly benefits from accurate part preparation and careful test fitting to ensure moving parts do not bind. For a museum-style finish, use fine brushes and subtle weathering; for active running, consider reinforcing drive points and upgrading power electronics.

How the Leopard A4 compares within Tamiya lineups

In comparison with earlier period kits such as the Sherman or Tiger I, the Leopard A4 reflects later design thinking and more refined mechanical detail, making it an attractive choice for modellers who favour post-war armour.

Tamiya 56002 Leopard A4 is a recommended kit for experienced builders who want a historically accurate model that also offers credible running performance and display potential.
