Italeri 1:35 Leopard 2A4 Main Battle Tank Kit – ITA 6559
This kit replicates the modern-era Leopard 2A4, one of the world’s leading third-generation MBTs, in scale 1:35. Produced by Italeri, it features a 120 mm Rheinmetall L/55 smoothbore gun and gluable rubber tracks for realistic assembly.
- Scale: 1:35 (model length approx. 276 mm)
- Skill level: 3 out of 5 (suitable for intermediate modellers)
- Included: Decals for five different national versions, glueable rubber tracks, detailed instruction sheet.
The Leopard 2 entered service in the late 1970s–early 1980s with the German Bundeswehr and quickly became renowned for its firepower, mobility (~65 km/h top speed) and advanced armor protection. The A4 version includes upgraded fire control and improved protection.
Although some reviewers note that surface detail and panel lines can be inconsistent and softer compared to high-end brands, Italeri's kits remain an affordable option for modern armour subjects.
Many modelers find this kit offers good value for its price, especially with the included multi-version decal sheet and workable rubber tracks.
