Tamiya 35355 1/35 Infantry Tank Matilda Mk.III/IV "Red Army"

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

This kit updates the popular British Matilda (TM 35300) with parts to recreate a Soviet-spec Matilda. The tank itself was a durable, heavy design with 2-pounder gun that was well-suited to the slower infantry tank role in British armour doctrine. Eventually, the Matilda was replaced by the Valentine. Like the Valentine, it was supplied to Soviet forces under a lend-lease scheme. Around 1,000 were provided; they were generally given new tracks and simplified suspension with bogie skids, re-designed side skirts, and other modifications.

New Parts:
- Soviet-design assembly track parts
- Suspension bogie skid parts
- Solid (no slits) hull front locker hatches
- 2 Red Army torso figures
- 2 Red Army marking options
