Tamiya 35355 Military Miniature Series No.355 Soviet Army infantry tank Matilda Mk.3 / Mk.4 1/35 Scale plastic Model Kit
Britain supplied the Soviet Union with more than 1,000 Matildas under the auspices of the "Lend-Lease" policy during WWII. Sporting a 2-pounder gun and armor up to 78mm on the front, and offering a top speed of 24km/h, the Red Army deployed it with an infantry support brief. Later Red Army Matildas were given updated tracks and bogie skids in place of return rollers in order to help them cope with the punishing conditions.
This is a 1/35 scale plastic model assembly kit of the Matilda Mk.III/IV "Red Army". Length: 164mm, width: 72mm. The heavyweight form of the Matilda is captured with aplomb. Updated Red Army track type, bogie skids and side skirts are faithfully recreated. Slit-less locker hatches on the hull front are Red Army Matilda spec. Assembly type tracks use individual links. 2 crew torso figures are included in the kit. Comes with 2 marking options, with various turret slogans also recreated.
