Tamiya 1:35 Infantry Tank Matilda Mk 111/Iv Red Army

Britain supplied the Soviet Union with more than 1,000 Matildas under the auspices of the "Lend-Lease" policy during WWII. Sporting a 2-pounder gun and armor up to 78mm on the front, and offering a top speed of 24km/h, the Red Army deployed it with an infantry support brief. Later Red Army Matildas were given updated tracks and bogie skids in place of return rollers in order to help them cope with the punishing conditions.

The model accurately captures the form of the Red Army Matildas supplied by Britain.

Assembly components are used to recreate tracks for harsh winter conditions.

Skid bogies were employed in place of return rolers. Altered side skirts are realistically depicted.

Parts realistically capture cast surfaces such as on turret. 2 marking options are included.

Two realistic torso figures recreate commander and driver, adding another layer of realism to the kit.

Hull front locker hatches are recreated with the updated, safety conscious slitless design.
