1/48 Scale German Leopard 2 Main Combat Tank A7V

Following the release of Item 35387 1/35 German Main Battle Tank Leopard 2 A7V, we are delighted to announce the appearance of the Leopard 2 A7V in the 1/48 Military Miniature Series. The model recreates the Leopard 2 A7V succinctly yet realistically. This kit uses one-third of the number of parts used for Item 35387, which ensures ease of assembly but an accurate depiction.

Leopard 2 A7V

In May 2017 it was decided to give the Bundeswehr Leopard 2 tank an upgrade in the form of the Leopard 2 A7V; building upon the A7 variant, the A7V has additional hull front armor to increase its survivability, with new running gear to compensate for the extra weight. Its L/55 120mm gun is a carryover from the A6 variant which - when using the latest ammunition - can take on enemy armor up to five kilometers away. Other design evolutions include a sight device to amplify vision in poor visibility, new tracks and a new turret rear basket. 104 existing tanks are to be upgraded to A7V spec, and units began receiving them in September 2021.
