Tamiya Infantry Tank Matilda MK.III/IV "Red Army" (1/35)

This item is sold brand new. It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched in 3 - 5 working days

This kit updates the popular British Matilda (Item 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.
