Product Description
- In May 2017, the German Armed Forces decided to adopt the Leopard 2 A7V to improve the combat power of their main battle tanks.
- The A7V is a further development of the Leopard 2 A7, which was developed based on the Leopard 2 A6 that has been in operation since 2001. It has added armor to the front of the vehicle to improve its defensive capabilities, and the suspension has also been strengthened to accommodate the increased weight of the vehicle.
- The main gun is a 120mm cannon with the same caliber as the A6, but with new shells it is possible to engage targets up to 5,000m away.
- In addition, the vehicle has been updated down to the smallest details, including the introduction of a driver assistance system that ensures combat capability even in poor visibility, improvements to the tracks, and the addition of a basket to the side of the turret.
- 104 A7Vs will be produced by modifying existing vehicles and will begin to be deployed to combat units from September 2021, increasing their presence as a key component of defense not only in Germany but also throughout the EU.
[Model Specifications]
- Based on research into the actual vehicle, every characteristic of the A7V has been faithfully reproduced, including the additional armor installed at the front of the vehicle, the rear of the turret, and the shape of the right rear of the vehicle, which are significantly different from those of the Leopard 2 A6.
- The mud flaps on the rear panel have been removed and attached to the rear sides of the turret to recreate the tank in combat style.
- The tracks are assembled in units and then connected by snapping together.
- The mesh of the engine grill and the perforated metal parts of the turret side basket are sharply expressed using etched parts.
- Torso figures of the commander and loader looking forward are available. Head parts can be selected between a helmet and a beret.
- Three types of markings are included.
- Overall length 320mm, overall width 110mm
