Tamiya 1:35 WWII Tank Chariot II Ausf.F/G (5) SK.121, 300035009

I love this kit, its a great mojo restorer. It goes together beautifully, it includes figures if you want to build a diorama and its impressive but not too taxing, this would be a great first tank build for anyone wanting to try a 1/35 scale tank kit. It's inexpensive and looks great when its finished.

This is a brilliant Tamiya kit from the 1970's. It is very easy to build, comes with 5 figures and also has decals for different versions of the vehicle. Inexpensive to buy, it is great for trying out new techniques and is a perfect model for beginners. Highly recommended.

This was a great model - I was some what unhappy however as certain decals and also certain parts of the instructions were blanked out or removed from the kit. Having never made a tank before this was my first crack at one, As a model it fits together really well. I had some issues with the wheels and if I was to revisit this kit I would glue them. Another good thing about this model is the scope to play about with shading. I added weights to model too and once done it makes for a quite fair sized tank and looks great on the shelf.

I think this particular kit is an old one, the date on one of the sprues was 1971, and I think there has been a more recent version of this kit put out. As kits go it wasnt that bad. Some of the parts were a bit iffy in how they fitted together and had to be modified for a perfect fit. The turret was particularly tight and had to be filed a lot so that it wouldnt keep scraping the paint off. The instructions were not as good as some of the more recent kits from Tamiya, one problem being a complete lack of painting instructions in English. It seemed to only cater for a desert version, but I did mine in a Russian front version in Panzer Grey. Also there were only vague instructions on correct use of decals. Other than that I would recommend the kit because it was at a good price and a good one to practice painting, weathering etc.

Good item

this Kit is really worth it great value for money easy assemble n. looks great finished Still. have to paint Delivery as always so reliable n

[UPDATE] Got a replacement kit that was untouched, so censoring the kits must happen at random. Now I'm a happy camper :) upped rating from 3 stars to 5. The kit itself is great HOWEVER.... Amazon... why, oh WHY do you have to censor the kit and remove swastikas from kits like this? This is as innocent as it goes... this is just a plastic model kit for crying out loud...If you do this at least have the courtesy to tell your customers about this in advance...

The decals for the Africa core paint scheme have been cut out. Presumably due to its inclusion of the swastika. However, given it is perfectly legal to include them and the kit is specifically marketed as a Africa Core tank (which is why I brought it) its rather annoying.
