Tamiya 1/35 Finnish Army Assault Gun BT-42 Tamiya 1/35 Finnish Army Assault Gun BT-42 10% Off A coupon code is available for this Modelcars.com kit — see the code and how to redeem it. → Estimated price: $88.99 – check for current deal 🟢 Buy now through our partner: Click here to shop on modelcars *This is an affiliate link. If you make a purchase, CreaWell may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. Features & Highlights Scale 1:35 assembly kit of the Finnish Army’s BT-42 assault gun. The unusual vehicle used a captured Soviet BT-7 chassis combined with a British 4.5-inch (114 mm) howitzer in a newly designed turret — only 18 were built. Highly detailed: includes shortened front fenders, storage boxes, jacks, realistic tracks based on the BT-7 Model 1937 and photo-etched parts for engine grilles and mantlet plates. Driver figure included, and crew hatches may be depicted open or closed. Multiple marking options (three types) provided. Dimensions when built: Approx length 157 mm, width 67 mm. Build Tips & Modelling Advice This kit is well suited for modellers with some experience. Suggested workflow: Clean mould lines and check fit on hull and turret halves before gluing. Paint the under-hull and suspension components separately for ease of access. The kit tracks are pre-moulded sections — consider slight sag or add sagging realism if desired. Use a fine wash or filter around rivets and panel lines to emphasize detail, then add weathering (dust, chipped paint) for authenticity. If you plan display with open hatches, paint and mount the driver figure before fitting the turret ring. Why Choose This Kit? If you’re looking for a more unusual subject in WWII armour modelling, the BT-42 stands out. Its hybrid design and Finnish service history add interest to your collection. Tamiya’s reputation for mould quality and detail means this kit delivers both accuracy and buildability. This 1/35 scale plastic figure set represents Finnish Army assault troops from WWII.

Tamiya 1/35 U.S. Gun & Mortar Team Kit Tamiya 1/35 U.S. Gun & Mortar Team Kit Estimated price: $7.99 – check for current deal 🟢 Buy now through our partner: Click here to shop on modelcars *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 model kit from Tamiya (Item No. 35086). Includes eight U.S. Army figures in action poses: mortar crew, machine-gun team, radio operator and ammo handlers. Detailed accessories such as a mortar, machine gun, bazooka, radio set, ammo crates and more — adding realism to your display. Perfect for use with other 1/35 U.S. infantry or vehicle kits — attaches well to your larger diorama builds. How to Build & Modelling Tips This kit is great for modelers looking to add action-filled figures and gear rather than a full vehicle build. Suggested approach: Start by removing and cleaning figure parts — pay careful attention to seams on poses and equipment. Paint uniforms in correct WWII U.S. olive drab shades, helmets and boots — then add washes and highlights for realism. Paint the mortar and machine gun team equipment separately for contrast and realistic metal/wood finishes. Use small base or display board to mount the kit: position figures interacting with mortar or machine gun team for storytelling. Weathering tip: add dust & mud effects around the feet, and grime on ammo crates to enhance the action scene vibe. Why Choose This Kit? Unlike many kits that focus solely on vehicles, this figure-set brings human action to the forefront. A mortar team + gun team gives a narrative context to your diorama, whether it’s defensive fire support or ambush scenario. Tamiya’s quality moulds ensure clean assembly and long-term display value.

Tamiya German Field Military Police Normandy 1944 (1/35) Tamiya German Field Military Police Normandy 1944 (1/35) 10% Off A coupon code is available for this Modelcars.com kit — see the code and how to redeem it. → Estimated price: $37.99 – check for current deal 🟢 Buy now through our partner: Click here to shop on modelcars *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. Details & Features Scale: 1:35 plastic model set from Tamiya, designed specifically for diorama use. Includes two fully-detailed figures of German Feldgendarmerie in Normandy 1944 poses — in uniform, with equipment and realistic stances. Also includes a textured ground sheet (approx. size 20 x 10.5 cm) representing paved road surface, plus diorama detailing bits (e.g., bike, signpost or barrier) to instantly set a scene. Ideal for loading behind vehicles, beside bunkers, or forming part of a road-block or checkpoint scenario in the late war Western Front setting. How to Build & Tips Because this set is focused on figures and scenery texture, painting skills and attention to scale detail are key. Suggested approach: 1. Clean the figure parts and remove mould lines. 2. Paint in correct late-war German Feldgendarmerie uniform colours (e.g., field grey, checker-board collar patches, etc.). 3. Apply washes & dry-brushing to emphasise wrinkles, equipment and boots. 4. For the ground sheet, prime, then apply realistic weathering (tire tracks, dust, flaking paint) to give that Normandy battlefield look. 5. Position the figures on the sheet as part of a diorama — e.g., beside a captured vehicle, at a roadblock or checkpoint for added story depth. Why This Set Adds Value Many vehicle-only kits lack context or “human element”. This figure & base set brings a strong sense of story and scale. Placed alongside a vehicle (e.g., a captured half-track) it enhances narrative and offers visual contrast. The ground sheet included makes set-up quicker and more cohesive for modellers wanting a vignette or full diorama without sourcing multiple accessories. This 1/35 scale plastic figure set portrays WWII German military police personnel. 🪖 Blog Want to learn more?

Key Features & Highlights Scale: 1 : 35 plastic model assembly kit. Includes four Soviet commander figures in various poses (command, radio, map-planning) plus the staff car vehicle for setting a command scene. The staff vehicle is modelled on the German Type 82 “Kübelwagen” captured and reused by Soviet forces, giving historical interest and modelling variety. Detailed figure accessories and decals included for Russian shoulder insignia and vehicle registration markings. How to Build & Modelling Tips This kit is suitable for modelers comfortable with figure assembly and basic vehicle modelling. Start by assembling the staff vehicle chassis and body, paint the captured-vehicle scheme (e.g., Soviet repaint over German base). Then build and pose the figures: choose a dynamic pose (radio operator, pointing commander, map on bonnet, etc.). Use washes and dry-brushing to highlight folds, uniforms, and creases on figures. For the vehicle, weather the body and track area to replicate captured-vehicle usage: dust, mud spatter, Soviet-style stencils. Why This Kit Works for Dioramas Adding commanders and a staff car creates a narrative beyond just tanks and infantry. Whether you’re setting up a command post behind the front lines or a captured-vehicle display, this kit adds character. The combination of figures and vehicle improves visual interest and elevates your display from static to story-driven. Explore our modelcars products
