【About the Leopard 2 A7V】

In 2017, it was decided to give the Bundeswehr Leopard 2 an upgrade with the A7V, an improved version of the Leopard 2 A7 (A7 was an upgrade of the 2001 Leopard A6). The A7V has additional hull front armor to increase its survivability, with reinforced suspension. Its L/55 120mm gun 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.

【About the model】

• This is a 1/16 scale R/C model assembly kit. Length: 701mm, width: 241mm, height: 190mm. Weight: 4,900g.
• The powerful form of the Leopard 2 A7V with L/55 120mm gun is faithfully captured based upon extensive research of the actual tank
• Just like the full-size tank, this model has all-wheel independent suspension with torsion bars for superior mobility. Suspension arms are die-cast (plastic for Item 56020 (1/16 R/C Leopard 2 A6)) for more higher quality and reliability.
• Pre-assembled tracks have inserted rubber pads.
• Gun barrel is aluminum and chassis is ABS plastic.
• New DMD T-12 control unit provides gun barrel control system (*) and volume adjustment using transmitter, which was not possible for Item 56020.
  • *This system controls gun elevation and turret direction, keeping the gun trained in a single direction.
• Control Unit uses 4 channels to control forward/back movement, sharp and pivot turning at any speed. Gun elevation, recoil and turret rotation can also be controlled. Engine sounds are synchronized with model speed, while main gun and machine gun firing are realistically accompanied by lights and sound (facilitated by DMD Multi Function Unit).
• DMD control unit and battery pack are installed inside the turret. Pin-attached upper turret allows easy replacement of battery pack. Also, the magnet-attached hatch at turret rear allows quick access to power and setup switches.
• Comes with Type 540 motors (x2, running), type 130 motor (x1, turret rotation), TSU-03 servo (x1, gun elevation) and type 130 motor (x1, recoil).
• Compatible with Item 53447 (Battle System (For 1/16 Scale Tanks)) to give the battle mode.
