Overview of the Tamiya 1/35 Chieftain Mk.V scale model

The Tamiya 1/35 Chieftain Mk.V kit presents an accurate plastic rendition of the British main battle tank, with components laid out to support careful assembly and realistic surface finishes. The model is suited to builders who enjoy refining small details and achieving convincing paintwork.

Context and the Chieftain's evolution

Following designs like the Centurion, the Chieftain introduced upgrades in protection and armament to meet Cold War operational needs. This kit preserves those defining characteristics, giving modellers a tangible example of post WWII British tank design.

Modeling Appeal and Display Value

When completed the model stands out thanks to well defined turret shapes and track detail. It is ideal for collectors who prefer clean builds and restrained weathering that highlight sculpted features.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
  • Parts: Detailed turret and hull components
Standard modelling tools such as sprue cutters, hobby knife, files and plastic cement are sufficient. Precision tweezers and a fine brush will help with smaller parts and detailing.
This kit is a static display model and does not include RC components or reinforced parts for mobility. Converting it would require significant modification and custom mounting solutions.
Build time varies with experience and finish level. A tidy assembly with basic painting may take several weekends, while advanced detailing and weathering will extend the schedule.
