1/35 scale models
Mortar Assault
Italeri’s Sturmmörser Tiger may be more than 20 years old, but still manages to surprise.
Tracked Cats and Storms
It’s Airfix’s turn to re-box Academy’s 1/35 M10 Tank Destroyer, following an Italeri-branded version in 2010.
TANK SPANDAUS
Master Model’s four-piece turned-metal package supplies sufficient parts for two barrels fitted to co-axially mounted MG 34s in German tanks.
COURIER DELIVERY
Courier/postal boxes are a part of modern life – regardless of where you are, there’s always a carton squirrelled away somewhere, which makes Matho’s A5 printed paper sheet highly useful for modellers.
SNEAKY PROBOSCIS
While Academy’s 1/35 OH-58 Kiowas (due to be re-released in 2020) are well regarded, the nose configuration is incorrect for the later versions, which feature a revised forward structure, known as the ‘Stealth Nose’.
COMPREHENSIVE CANISTERS
Following its Allies Jerry Can set (35587), MiniArt has released this collection of 1/35 German containers, including examples labelled for kraftstoff (motor fuel), wasser (water), oel (oil) and feuergefährlich (flammable) contents.
GO-ANYWHERE CARRIER
This version of Tamiya’s 1/35 Komatsu Light Armored Vehicle retains the styrene and die-cast components from previous iterations, including a one-piece upper body, three green-toned runners and a clear frame, plus four vinyl tyres and metal screws.
TURRETED TURTLE
Italeri’s 1/35 M1A1 Abrams returns with five crew figures to pose with the vehicle – the latter are supplied on a single grey styrene runner with convincingly rendered clothing, but flash was evident on several parts.
CONSPICUOUS CONSCRIPTS
Modellers can model the brightly coloured uniforms worn by the French Army’s Zouaves regiments during early World War One thanks to these 1/35 figures from ICM.
FIRING BRACE
Polish firm ToRo Model has added to its ‘September 1939’ series with a pair of 1/35 gunners.
