Plastic Model Kits  

The differences between the Leopard 2 MBTs up to 2A4 are small, changed over the years and are difficult to explain, and therefore - so it seems - mostly unknown by the kit producer (the one exception would be Revell #3053). Nevertheless they should be considered by serious scale modellers.

The list below has been based on the box top designations.

Unless otherwise noted, all kits listed here include a representation of the Diehl 570 FT track.

Leopard 2A4M-CAN

Leopard 2 improved / KWS

This represents a prototype/demonstrator for the Leopard 2 upgrade. There were two such examples produced which were referred to as TVM max and TVM min. A third prototype called TVM II was built which featured most of the features of the series production 2A5.

Leopard 2A6

Leopard 2A6M

Leopard 2A6 EX

It is worth noting that the 2A6 EX has not formally entered service with any nation, and only one vehicle was ever modified to this configuration. The modifications were performed by KMW (as a private venture) to demonstrate the range of upgrades available for the Leopard 2. It can be said that the Leopard 2E (manufactured under license in Spain) and the Leopard 2A6 HEL (manufactured under license in Greece) are both based on modifications first applied to the 2A6 EX demonstrator.

I just love Frank's Leopard 2 book, because after having read it I am able to include comments (such as above) that gives the reader the impression that I know what I'm talking about! :-)

Leopard 2A7

Leopard 2A7V

Leopard 2A7+

Leopard 2E (Spain)

Leopard 2 Revolution

The Leopard 2 Revolution is a technology demonstrator developed by Rheinmetall Defence. The Revolution utilizes a number of modular upgrade packages which demonstrate significant improvements in firepower, armour protection, mobility and C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence). This vehicle configuraiton has not been fielded by an any nation so it makes a somewhat unusual choice for a 'mainstream' kit. The Leopard 2s currently in service with Singapore and Indonesia use modular armour upgrade packages which are thought to have been based on that developed for the Revolution.
