Recreate the Tamiya 1/35 Matilda Mk.III/IV with authentic features

This Tamiya 1/35 British Infantry Tank Matilda Mk.III/IV kit gives modellers a faithful representation of a distinctive WWII tank. Known for its endurance in early desert campaigns, the Matilda combined protection with reliable operation. The kit presents those traits in scale, enabling a historically convincing build.

Service history and model accuracy

Introduced before the war, the Matilda gained recognition for heavy armor and combat resilience. It played a notable role in North Africa until high-velocity anti-tank guns challenged its defenses. The model reflects key design elements such as side armour skirts and the twin diesel arrangement, resulting in a faithful miniature of the wartime vehicle.

Assembly notes and presentation

Designed to suit a range of skill levels, this Tamiya kit balances detail with straightforward construction. It simplifies assembly around the turret and running gear while offering both assembled and belt-type track choices and three crew figures to enrich displays. Final dimensions of 174mm by 72mm make it a compact but detailed centrepiece.
