Refine your Leopard 2 A7V model with the Tamiya 12694 metal barrel

Scale enthusiasts wanting a more convincing 1/35 Leopard 2 A7V will find the Tamiya 12694 barrel a practical upgrade. Turned from aluminium for a realistic sheen, it replaces the kit barrel to provide a cleaner, more professional muzzle look.

Material and fit considerations

Tamiya 12694 is machined from aluminium to maintain strength and a precise profile. The part avoids visible parting marks, simplifying finishing work and reducing time on seam removal. Complementary plastic pieces for the muzzle tip, bore evacuator and rear are intended for use with Tamiya Item 35387.

Model accuracy note

Installing a metal barrel sharpens the visual accuracy of your Leopard 2 A7V, reflecting the tank's distinctive 120mm armament and improving presence on the display shelf.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Aluminum
  • Compatibility: Tamiya 35387 Leopard 2 A7V
  • Assembly: No glue required for barrel

Does the barrel need any special adhesive to stay in place?

The barrel is designed to fit securely without glue. If you prefer additional security for transport or dioramas, use a tiny dab of cyanoacrylate at non visible joints, taking care not to damage the finish.

Is the metal barrel suitable for a model that will be handled often?

The aluminium construction is robust, but repeated handling can mark the finish. For a handled or gaming model, consider a protective clear coat or avoid frequent disassembly to keep the part in top condition.

Will I need to modify the kit to use the supplied plastic detail parts?

No major modifications are expected. The plastic tip, bore evacuator and rear section are provided to integrate with Tamiya Item 35387. Minor trimming or test fitting may be needed for the best alignment.
