Tamiya 35370 Marder I 1:35 scale kit for detailed builds

The Tamiya 35370 kit faithfully models the German Marder I tank destroyer, adapted from the French Lorraine tractor chassis. Production was limited to roughly 170 vehicles, which saw service in multiple World War II arenas including Normandy, the Eastern Front and North Africa.

Build features and wartime background

This 1:35 scale kit reproduces the Marder I's compact running gear and pronounced upper hull shape, complete with accurate rivet and weld lines. The interior features a detailed gun breech, sighting mechanisms, stowage racks and radio fittings for a convincing assembly. Tracks are supplied as single-piece straight runs and fitted to ergonomic bogies to make alignment and gluing simpler.

Why collectors choose this kit

Three marking options are supplied - two Normandy variants and one Eastern Front - giving flexibility for diorama or display choices. Two figure models are included, posed as lookouts, which add to the scene-setting potential. The kit is a solid pick for display builders and history-minded modellers alike.

For an authentic look, paint the interior parts before final assembly. Detail painting on the gun breech and radio area improves realism.
Decals reflect three historically used marking schemes. For a weathered appearance, sealing and light weathering over decals gives a natural finish.
Dry-fit straight track sections first to check fit around the bogies, then glue in small runs to control alignment. Patience during this step pays off in a neat result.
