Tamiya 35068 British Chieftain Mk. 5 Tank 1:35 Plastic Kit

This is the Tamiya 35068 1:35 scale plastic model kit of the British Chieftain Mk.5 tank, a 1970 variant of one of the most heavily armoured and armed fighting vehicles of its generation.

About this model

The Chieftain was developed from British tank experience in the Second World War and reflects the priorities of British tank designers in firepower, protection and mobility. Tamiya's kit recreates the 120mm gun, hull and turret shape, along with the complex suspension and armour plates found on the real vehicle.

The kit includes three torso figures, fully detailed plastic tracks and hatches that can be opened. Side skirts can be fitted or left off, giving some choice in how the finished model is displayed.
