Tamiya 1/35 Matilda MkIII/IV Red Army - Scale representation of a wartime conversion

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.

Guidance for building and showing

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.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
The kit focuses on documented Red Army adaptations like modified tracks and bogie skids, offering a faithful representation suitable for historical displays.
Basic modelling tools such as sprue cutters, fine files, plastic cement and a selection of brushes are recommended. A magnifier and fine sanding sticks help with small parts.
Yes. The scale and detail make it ideal for a small diorama showing Eastern Front conditions. Adding figures and terrain elements will enhance the historical context.
