Tamiya 35356 - Archer 1/35 Scale: British Self-Propelled Anti-Tank Design

The Archer was a pragmatic solution, and Tamiya recreates it in 1/35 with precise moulding. Mounted on the Valentine chassis, the 17-pounder was installed facing backward while the crew compartment was placed at the front. That layout gave the vehicle a low profile and a unique internal arrangement, both shown in this kit.

Entering service in 1944, the Archer was effective at long ranges, with documented penetration around 192mm at 914 metres. This model highlights those combat roles and is a satisfying project for builders who appreciate accurate interiors and external details.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires Glue
  • Paint: Not Included
Basic modelling tools suffice: cutters, files, sandpaper and fine brushes. A pin vise helps for drilling mounting points if you add details.
Most Tamiya armour kits include decal sheets for common unit markings. Check the instructions for available options and placement guides.
Panel line washes, chipping with a sponge, and layered dust pigments work well to convey battlefield wear on the hull and gun.
The kit's gun elevation may be limited. Modify mount points carefully if you want a raised or fired position, taking care not to stress the plastic.
