Tamiya 35068 - 1/35 British Chieftain Mk.V Tank Model WWII - Precision armour kit  [35068]

Close look at the Tamiya 1/35 Chieftain Mk.V scale kit

This Tamiya 1/35 scale kit recreates the British Chieftain Mk.V with careful moulding and part separation that aid assembly and realistic finishes. The kit captures the vehicle's silhouette and offers clear surfaces for painting and weathering work.

Historical drivers and design highlights

Designed to surpass earlier British tanks such as the Centurion, the Chieftain featured heavier protection and a powerful main gun to counter Cold War armoured threats. The model mirrors those key design choices and helps modellers understand the era's engineering priorities.

Modeling Appeal and Display Value

Once assembled and painted the model makes an engaging display piece. Details like the turret fittings and road wheels respond well to washes and drybrushing, improving visual depth on a shelf or in a cabinet.
