Its L\/55 120mm gun is a carryover from the A6 variant which - when using the latest ammunition - can take on enemy armor up to five kilometers away. Other design evolutions include a sight device to amplify vision in poor visibility, new tracks and a new turret rear basket. 104 existing tanks are to be upgraded to A7V spec, and units began receiving them in September 2021.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• 1\/48 scale plastic model assembly kit.
