Fun kit with some slight drawbacks

By: rockykeele (Tucson, AZ)

The German Leopard Medium Tank is an impressive kit representing a post WWII German tank. The kit has nice detail, including a molded rough surface on the hull. The kit includes all the accessories that Tamiya generously gives, including shovels, picks, saw, cables, etc. I was slightly dissapointed in the one figure(just the upper torso) that comes with this tank, as it seems slightly too small for the 1/35 scale. It includes a metal screen for the engine compartment that really looked nice on the completed model. The treads are the usual one piece rubber type, with good detail on both sides. I did not care for the rubber wheel plugs that attach the wheels to the suspension, however, as they leave unsightly gaps in the wheel assemblies. As with many Tamiya kits, this one does not offer the builder much to do with regards to the lower hull and suspension - it is all pre-molded as one piece. Even with these slight drawbacks, the kit turned out looking very nice, and it was a fun build.

Nice build, even if somewhat dated

By: travis.getz

I built this model years ago with my cousin. He was new to the hobby and we both really enjoyed it. The model is simple enough for young modellers to avoid being bored, but more 'hardcore' hobbyists may find some of the lack of options and the rubber tracks a bit disappointing. Recommended for beginning to intermediate modellers who want to add to their tank collections. :)

very nice older kit, good detail and easy to build

By: rarem37

This kit is one of the oldest ones the Tamiya line. It assembles easily with no major problems. The detail is not as sharp as the newer kits, but it includes pretty good features for it's age. It is a good beginners kit that will look good next to the newer releases from other companies. The tracks are the rubber band type that most glue won't stick to. You can follow the instructions and melt the posts to join the tracks. I also put a couple of staples across the join. To install the track, leave the drive sprockets off until you are ready to install the track. Place the track over all of the wheels, fit the drive sprocket into the track and press the sprocket into place on it's axle. That way you don't have to stretch the track to get it around all of the wheels and drive sprocket.
