Trumpeter Rooikat 1/35 Scale AFV by Trumpeter 09516

The Trumpeter 1/35 Rooikat model recreates the South African armoured fighting vehicle with attention to scale proportions and external fittings. The kit highlights the Rooikat's role as a reconnaissance and fast strike platform, giving builders a chance to replicate its unique profile.

Operational Traits Represented in Scale

The real Rooikat is prized for speed and mobility across varied terrain; the model reflects these attributes through detailed running gear and a streamlined hull. Modellers can study how the vehicle was configured for scouting and rapid response tasks.

Tips for a Clean Assembly

Geared toward intermediate builders, this kit contains delicate parts and detailed decals that benefit from patient assembly. Use precision cutters and fine sanding to keep seam lines minimal, and consider pre-shading for layered paintwork.

Diorama and Presentation Suggestions

Finished, the Rooikat suits solo display or a small diorama showing reconnaissance operations. Pair it with figures, terrain scatter, and subdued weathering to suggest operational wear without obscuring fine detail.
