Tamiya 35370 - Marder I 1/35 German Tank Destroyer Model Kit (classic subject)  [35370]

Tamiya 35370 - 1/35 Marder I, a faithful wartime model

The Tamiya 35370 kit presents the Marder I tank destroyer in 1/35 scale, converted from the Lorraine supply tractor. Production was small, about 170 units, and the vehicle saw use in a variety of WWII operations including actions after Normandy, on the Eastern Front and in North Africa.

Scale modelling details and history

The model captures the Marder I's short chassis and distinctive upper hull profile, with accurate rivet and weld detail. The interior contains well-modelled elements such as the gun breech, sighting kit, storage racks and radio set, making for an involved build. Tracks are supplied as single straight sections that fit onto practical bogies, simplifying the assembly process.

Display potential and marking choices

Builders get three marking schemes to choose from - two Normandy options and one Eastern Front pattern. Two crew figures are included, shown observing the skies, which helps to set a historical scene. This kit is appropriate for display cabinets and historical modelling projects.
