Assemble the Tamiya 1/35 Matilda Mk.III/IV with attention to scale detail

The Tamiya 1/35 British Infantry Tank Matilda Mk.III/IV kit recreates a key WWII armoured vehicle with solid engineering and period character. Praised for its heavy protection and battlefield role, the Matilda proved effective in early North African engagements. This kit captures the tank's distinctive silhouette and lets modelers reproduce its wartime presence.

Background and accurate styling

Coming into service in the late 1930s, the Matilda earned a reputation for strong armor and dependable performance on rough terrain. In the North African theatre it stood out until higher calibre anti-tank guns reduced its advantage. The model portrays signature details like the side skirts and the dual diesel layout, offering an authentic miniature interpretation of the original vehicle.

Construction approach and display potential

Tamiya engineered this kit to suit a wide range of hobbyists, from those new to armour kits to seasoned builders. The assembly is streamlined with fewer fiddly parts around the turret, hull and suspension, while providing both assembly and belt-type track options and three crew figures to stage scenes. Finished dimensions are 174mm long by 72mm wide, making it a strong display piece for any WWII collection.
