1:35 Scale Military Model Kits

1:35 scale is the king of military modelling. Established as the standard armour scale by Tamiya in the 1960s, it provides the perfect canvas for detailed tank and AFV construction, figure painting, and diorama building. At this scale, individual weld lines, stowage, and crew figures can all be rendered convincingly.

The range of 1:35 military subjects is staggering. Tamiya leads with their iconic Panzer IV, Tiger I, Sherman, and M4A3E8 — all still superb kits decades after introduction. Modern toolings from Dragon, Ryefield Model, Meng, and Takom push detail levels to extraordinary heights, featuring individual link tracks, photo-etch, and accurate internal detail on many subjects.

Beyond armour, 1:35 covers soft-skin vehicles, artillery, self-propelled guns, aircraft in ground crew scenes, and military figures. Diorama bases and dressing sets allow you to create complete vignettes from a single scale period.

At Access Models we stock a carefully selected 1:35 range from beginner-friendly Tamiya through to advanced multi-media kits from specialist manufacturers. Whether you're building your first tank or your hundredth, we have the kit and the supplies to help.
