New Tamiya RC Leopard 2 A7V

My local shop is saying April/May 2025!

Have to say I am tempted by this. Anyone know where is best to buy one from?

I see it seems to have a 2 axis gun stabiliser.

I wonder if the new sprues will be available as spare parts to convert my existing A6 to an A7.
I would assume it would be a modified hull and turret top, with the chassis, lower turret and RC gear being same.

Is there a date? OMG, I can't wait!

End of May

It would make a good companion for my Tamiya Leopard 2A6. I did upgrade my Suspension Arms on my Leopard 2A6 to metal and a large number of other items as well including a Aluminum Lower Hull Bracing Kit.
Where Tamiya could do better is with the Bushings they supply instead of the proper Ball Bearings they should include in the kit considering what one pays for the kit.

I do feel that Tamiya could have tried to make a Challenger 2 or Challenger 3, or even a T-90M instead, just saying.

This Leopard 2A7V would look really nice sitting beside my Leopard 2A6.

On my Tamiya Leopard 2A6 I have done the metal upgrades with the Suspension where the Suspension Arms connect to the torsion bars and Suspension Swing Arms, Idler Wheels, Aftermarket Lower Hull Aluminum Bracing Kit, Aftermarket Main Gun Barrel, Metal MG3, and the use of proper Ball Bearings throughout.

This is what Tamiya should have supplied with the kit in the first place considering the actual cost of the kit.
