TAMIYA 300035286 – 1:35 WWII Special Automotive 222 Direct-Action Reconnaissance Tank North Africa (3) for unisex

Tamiya always makes a great kit. I think the instructions could be a little more clearer as far as certain parts of the build. The quality of the plastic is excellent, but needs at least two coats of paint for any color.

Nice kit for saturday afternoon

Great little kit. Super easy build. Lots of fun. Parts fit together well. Great value for money

The model came out in the 70's but Tamiya has made many updates/upgrades to the kit including: photo etched canopy, metal gun barrel, and improvements to many of the castings such as the motorcycle, some figures and accessories (gas cans, etc...). The directions are okay though you must rely on assembly drawings almost exclusively. The model goes together nicely and has some nice details. I would have like to see some welding details but that's probably too much to ask. The sprues are dated. The vehicle itself is on sprues dating to the mid 70's, while others date to 2007. Tamiya could improve this product by updating these older sprues (that have a lot of flash/defects) to match the improved quality of the new sprues. Overall, I think this is a great build for the price.

Exactly as described. Look forward to building it.

Como siempre la experiencia con Tamiya es superlativa.

Very satisfied with product

Fun for my 56 year old husband. My husband retired last year and this helps him from going crazy! I unfortunately have to add on a room tehe

I first built one in the 70s, nice little model. This repop is crisper in detail, with the aluminum gun barrel and the PE mesh for the open top. (kept grenades from getting into the cabin). This one is specific to the North African front, so panzer yellow will be the paint. Any other marking well require sourcing decals from elsewhere. The kit comes with a crew of two, and a motorcycle and rider. The bike is a very crisp, clean casting, with a good amount of detailing. The rider has the possibility to be somewhat positioned, (upper body). Add some extra detailing in the form of wire, possibley a rolled up tarp across the second seat and the bike turns out very nice.

Arrived on time and well packaged

Amazing to assemble and paint.. Accurate, sturdy enough if handled with due care, easy to follow instructions The final outcome depends on how much time and eye for detail you have. my 13 year old son did this.. you can see the step by step process at his insta account @shlokkarthik

Die Modelle von Tamiya sind sehr speziell. Die Passgenauigkeit ist top. Da kann revell sich ein Beispiel nehmen .

Amazing kit and well priced. Haven’t built it yet but looks like the usual high TAMIYA standard.
