This Tamiya 1/35 German Assault Pioneer Team & Goliath kit captures a distinctive piece of WWII engineering in injection moulded plastic. The set pairs the miniature tracked Goliath demolition carrier with the assault pioneers who deployed it, offering authentic detail for display builds.
The Goliath filled a specialist role during the war. The Sd.Kfz.302 model was roughly 160cm long, powered by twin 12V motors, and capable of carrying around 60kg of explosives. It was guided by a cable control system to breach defences or clear mines. Production reached about 2,650 units from 1942 to 1944, often issued to assault pioneer units.
For hobbyists the kit delivers a rewarding assembly and paint project, with figure poses that lend themselves to dramatic diorama scenes. It is a good fit for collectors focused on accurate WWII representations.
