Overview of the Vickers MK I in 1/35

The Hobby Boss 1/35 kit reproduces the Vickers Medium Tank MK I with a focus on accurate shape and component layout. It gives model builders a tangible link to early armoured vehicle design.

Significance for Collectors and Builders

The MK I was influential for introducing a fully rotating turret, a configuration that became standard on later designs. As a scale model, it provides hands-on insight into design evolution and military vehicle engineering.

Building and Display Value

Experienced modellers will find the 1/35 size ideal for adding fine detail and weathering effects. Once finished, the tank makes a convincing display piece for a historical modelling collection.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Required for authenticity
Beginners can attempt it but should expect detailed work and patience; simpler kits may be better for an absolute first build.
This kit is designed for glue assembly, with many smaller components that benefit from traditional plastic cement or cyanoacrylate adhesives.
Detailing time depends on skill and ambition; a basic build can take several evenings while advanced weathering and extras can extend the project to weeks.
