High quality moulding by Tamiya ensures crisp lines and accurate folds in clothing. Suggested Building Tips Carefully clean mold lines and flash before assembly. - Use reference photos for German officer uniforms in your chosen theatre and period. - Paint accessories (map cases, binoculars) separately before final assembly. - Consider placing these figures near tanks, command vehicles or map tables to bring life to your scene. This 1/35 scale plastic figure set depicts WWII German field commanders and staff personnel.

Tamiya 1/35 WWI British Tank Mk IV Male (w/ Single Motor) Tamiya 1/35 WWI British Tank Mk IV Male (w/ Single Motor) Estimated price: £54.58– check for current deal 🟢 Buy now through our partner: Click here to shop on ebay *This is an affiliate link. If you make a purchase, CreaWell may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. Shipping handled by partner site - see retailer for delivery details. Features & Highlights Scale: 1:35 plastic assembly kit, model number 30057 in many regions. Replicates the Mk IV “Male” variant — armed with 6-pounder guns — of the British heavy tank used during WWI. Pre-assembled single motor and gearbox unit included for dynamic forward motion—enables the model to move on its tracks. Includes metal sprockets, moving link-type assembly tracks and fine detail work to replicate riveted panels and hull shape. Three marking options provided; scale dimensions approximately length 230mm, width 143mm. How to Build & Tips As this kit includes mechanical components, allow extra time for the assembly of the motor/gearbox section and track fitting. Begin with the hull and motor installation, then fit the sprockets and tracks before final assembly of the upper hull. Dry‐fit track links and ensure proper tension for smooth motion. Use reference images of Mk IV tanks for camo and weathering—mud, rivet shading and engine wear are key to realism. Why Choose This Kit? The WWI British Tank Mk IV was a defining vehicle of early armoured warfare, and this Tamiya kit brings that legend to life with moving tracks and real mechanical detail. It’s ideal for modelers who want more than static display—this kit offers movement, depth and historical significance. Explore our modelcars products YouTube Preview👇

Italeri Crusader Mk.III with British Tank Crew (1/35) Italeri Crusader Mk.III with British Tank Crew (1/35) Estimated price: £36.95 – check for current deal 🟢 Buy now through our partner: Click here to shop on ebay *This is an affiliate link. If you make a purchase, CreaWell may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. Shipping handled by partner site - see retailer for delivery details. Kit Contents & Key Highlights Scale: 1:35, plastic assembly kit by Italeri (kit #6592 in many markets). Includes nine figures in varied poses, plus stowage, equipment, and interior/crew accessories. Multiple marking schemes (at least 3) with high-quality decal sheet. Gluable rubber tracks included (not link-type). Good external detail and fit, typical of Italeri’s cruiser-tank line. Build Tips & Advice - Dry-fit hull and turret halves before gluing to ensure alignment. - When assembling the crew, decide early which hatches will be open, and leave access to interior detail if you plan to paint them. - The stowage and accessories may overlap or crowd depending on figure placement — plan layout before final gluing. - Use fine washes and filters to pick out panel lines, rivets, and shadow to enhance detail. - Work carefully with the rubber tracks — sometimes they stretch differently, apply gentle tension, and glue in manageable segments. Why This Kit Is Valuable Compared to a vehicle-only kit, adding figures increases your ability to tell a story in the build. The Crusader tank was a mainstay of British armored forces in the North African theater. Having crew figures allows you to depict action scenes — men signaling, loading, or resting. The combination of vehicle and human elements improves visual impact in dioramas. 🪖 Blog Want to learn more?
