Vickers Medium Tank Mk II 1/35 by Hobby Boss 83879 - Scale Reproduction

The Hobby Boss 83879 1/35 Vickers Medium Tank Mk II offers a faithful small-scale recreation of an influential interwar armoured vehicle. The kit provides clear moulding and period-accurate shapes for modellers focused on historical fidelity.

Historical Background and Model Detail

Developed in the late 1920s, the Vickers Medium Tank Mk II helped shape early armoured doctrine. This model reflects the vehicle's main design elements, recreating turret contours and suspension detail that help convey its historical character.

Building Experience and Display Value

Assembly is moderately involved and suits those familiar with glue-and-paint plastic kits. When completed, the model looks strong in display cabinets or as part of a period diorama, benefiting from careful paint and weathering techniques.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35

Plastic cement or cyanoacrylate both work depending on preference; plastic cement gives stronger joints on most polystyrene parts.
Aftermarket metal or vinyl tracks can improve appearance and fit, though check the pack size and compatibility before ordering.
Layered washes, subtle drybrushing and light chipping will add depth; refer to period photos for authentic wear patterns.
Basic marking placement is in the instructions, but additional reference sources will help you choose accurate unit markings and paint schemes.
