The Tamiya 1/35 Matilda Mk.III/IV Infantry Tank (35300) reproduces one of the most famous British tanks of the early Second World War — the Matilda II that proved virtually impregnable to most German anti-tank weapons during the Western Desert campaign of 1940–41. The Matilda's heavy armour allowed it to advance in the face of Italian and early German fire with almost complete impunity, earning it the nickname 'Queen of the Desert' before the arrival of the 88mm gun changed the balance.

Tamiya's 1/35 kit captures the Matilda's characteristic squat profile, distinctive skirt armour, and 2-pounder gun with accurate detail and multiple marking options.

Kit highlights:

• Accurate Matilda Mk.III/IV with 2-pounder anti-tank gun
• Distinctive armoured skirt and squat hull faithfully reproduced
• North Africa and Australian (Pacific) marking options
• Crew figures included
• The 'Queen of the Desert' — an important early-war Allied subject
