Tamiya 1/35 Matilda MkIII/IV Red Army - Scale model of a wartime adaptation

The Tamiya 1/35 Matilda MkIII/IV Red Army kit recreates a notable WWII tank variant supplied to Soviet forces. Historically the Matilda carried a 2-pounder main gun, could achieve around 24 km/h, and had frontal armour up to 78mm, which gave it notable protection on the battlefield.

This kit shows the field modifications applied by Red Army units, such as reinforced tracks and bogie skids to cope with heavy terrain. The parts are detailed to satisfy modellers looking for an accurate and involved build experience.

Practical assembly advice

Plan your build and paint sequence to make the most of the kit's detailing. It is aimed at modellers comfortable with precise assembly and careful painting. The finished model presents well on a shelf or as part of a larger diorama illustrating Eastern Front operations.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
The kit portrays Matilda tanks as used by the Red Army in WWII after receiving British vehicles under Lend-Lease, focusing on the practical adaptations made for Eastern Front service.
While not a starter kit, determined beginners with patience can complete it. Familiarity with glue, sanding and basic painting will help achieve a neat result.
Use subtle washes, dry brushing and mud pigments to replicate battlefield grime. Apply weathering in layers to build realistic wear without obscuring fine detail.
