Tamiya 35352 British Infantry Tank Mk. III Valentine Mk. II/IV 1/35

The plastic model kit Tamiya 35352 British Infantry Tank Mk. III Valentine Mk. II/IV in 1/35 scale is a faithfully reproduced miniature of the British infantry tank used during World War II. This model is an excellent combination of high-quality craftsmanship, outstanding detail, and the precision typical for the Tamiya brand. The set was released in 2017, and the model represents Valentine variants used both by the British Army in the African Campaign and by the Red Army on the Eastern Front after deliveries as part of the lend-lease program.

Valentine Mk. II/IV was one of the most recognizable British infantry tanks of that period. It was distinguished by its compact silhouette, reliability, and good armor protection for the early 1940s. The first units began production in 1940, and they were used in combat during 1941–1944. The Valentine fought in operations such as the battle of Tobruk, El Alamein, and the Kursk armored-mechanized operation on the Eastern Front. Its users included the following countries: Great Britain, USSR, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and India.

The Tamiya 35352 model is made from the highest quality plastic. The kit allows you to choose one of several configurations, taking into account details characteristic of the operational theater — for example, equipment elements or differences in armor. In the box you will find a precisely cast hull and turret, realistically rendered road wheels and track system, as well as optional accessories dedicated to the African and Soviet versions. The intricacy of the surface detail and the accurate proportions of the original are particularly noteworthy.

The set also includes decals that allow you to apply historically accurate markings, including vehicles from North Africa and the Red Army. You can therefore choose from several proposed historical versions.
