Description
This model assembly kit brings the German Main Battle Tank Leopard 2A7V to our popular 1/48 scale Military Miniature Series. The kit uses one-third of the number of parts used for our 1/35 scale version, which ensures ease of assembly but an exact depiction.
About the 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.
