Why this kit matters
The Leopard 2A6 is a modern main battle tank (MBT) developed by Germany and exported widely, with upgraded armour, firepower and systems compared to earlier variants. In the conflict-era context of Ukraine, a Ukrainian-marked Leopard 2A6 represents both current real-world relevance and modelling appeal.

Border Model’s BT-031 version offers modellers a modern subject in 1:35 scale with premium features (metal barrel, PE parts, realistic tracks) rather than a basic kit. This combination of subject matter and kit sophistication places it in a strong position for serious model builders who want more than a quick build.

How to use it
The build process begins with preparing and cleaning the parts. Follow the instruction booklet, assemble the hull and suspension, build the turret and gun barrel (metal barrel gives extra realism), install workable tracks, attach the ERA blocks and accessories, then paint and apply decals. Glue is required for most parts, with additional tools like hobby knife, tweezers, and paint recommended. Once finished, the model can sit proudly on a shelf or in a diorama display.

Gift Suggestion
This kit is most suitable as a gift For Him (or any experienced model builder) because of its subject matter (modern combat tank), build complexity and realistic detail. It may also appeal For Her if she is a dedicated model hobbyist who enjoys military vehicles. It is less suitable For Kids unless they are experienced with modelling and comfortable using glue, painting and detailed assembly.

This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
