The Tamiya 1/35 Matilda MkIII/IV Red Army kit allows modellers to assemble a historically significant British tank adapted for Soviet service. The Matilda mounted a 2-pounder gun, had a top speed around 24 km/h, and featured frontal armour up to 78mm, contributing to its battlefield survivability.
The kit captures the Red Army specific alterations, such as revised track assemblies and bogie skids used to improve performance in harsh conditions. Its level of detail is intended for hobbyists who appreciate historically accurate scale modelling.
Take care with part preparation and paint stages to get the best results from the moulded detail. The kit is most rewarding for modellers who already work with glues, fillers and fine paintwork. Once complete, the model makes a convincing display subject reflecting period armoured operations.
