Interwar Tank Model Overview

The Hobby Boss 1/35 scale kit recreates the Vickers Medium Tank MK I, giving hobbyists a chance to explore early British armoured engineering. The parts layout and scale capture the vehicle's defining lines for a faithful build.

Why This Tank Matters to Modellers

The Vickers Medium Tank MK I was notable for adopting a fully rotating turret, a step that shaped later tank layouts. As a scale model it highlights design changes from the period and helps collectors trace the development of armoured tactics and technology.

Building and Display Value

This kit targets builders who appreciate precise detail and period accuracy. The 1/35 scale offers room for crisp detailing and makes the finished model a strong display piece. Careful assembly and finishing will bring out the tank's distinctive silhouette.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Required for authenticity
The kit has finely detailed parts that need careful trimming and gluing, so it is best suited to modellers with some prior assembly experience rather than absolute beginners.
Acrylic or enamel hobby paints both work well; use thin coats and reference period colour charts for authentic finishes. A primer will help decals and paint adhere cleanly.
Aftermarket photo-etch and metal track sets sized for 1/35 can enhance detail and realism. Check part fitment before committing to modifications to avoid extra trimming.
