Final Touches: Tamiya 1/35 Scale German Wehrmacht Mounted Infantry Set
If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive way to add depth and detail to your future modeling projects, I highly recommend looking at Tamiya’s 1/35 scale Wehrmacht mounted infantry set, a classic scale figure that is easily available for any and all modelers to purchase.
The set includes three 1/35 scale figures, all of which are depicted in authentic WWII attire. The set is divided into a total of two sprues, with around 45 parts in total. The set comes with two German soldiers and a fairly large horse. The figures are depicted as if they were on patrol and have several scale accessories such as binoculars, handguns, rifles, pouches, canteens, and submachine guns.
All of the figures included in the set are very well-detailed and posed in various ways. The horse is depicted at rest, one soldier is depicted in a riding position, and the final soldier can be seen resting as he surveys the land around him.
If you are interested in purchasing or learning more about Tamiya’s 1/35 scale Wehrmacht mounted infantry set, I highly recommend that you visit both Tamiya’s website, where this product can be found for around $7.50, along with scalemates.com, where additional technical information about the figures can be found.

If you’re a modeler looking for an intermediate level build of a cult classic military vehicle, you are going to love the topic of today’s article. Today I would like to bring some attention to Tamiya’s 1/35 scale Russian Heavy Tank KV-2 (35375). Tamiya has wonderfully captured the detail of the legendary KV-2 in 1/35 scale, features such as tow hooks, tow cables, and tracks being beautifully rendered in classic Tamiya fashion. A number of 1/35-scale Soviet tankist figurines are also included with the KV-2, adding another level of fantastic realism to the build.
In addition to all of the fantastic features previously mentioned, Tamiya also includes a number of decals to add to your 1/35-scale KV-2 build. The decals included allow you to model your KV-2 after both Soviet and German KV-2s, as they saw service on both sides of WWII.
Overall, I think that Tamiya has done a lovely job with turning the famous KV-2 into 1/35-scale and I look forward to discussing more of Tamiya’s products with you all, as I feel that they are one of the best companies to look into when it comes to scale modeling. If you are interested in learning more about or purchasing Tamiya’s 1/35 scale Russian Heavy Tank KV-2 (35375), I urge you to visit Tamiya’s website or visit your local hobby shop, where you can find this kit retailing for around $68.00.
I hope you all found this to be informative, and I hope to see you again another time. Happy modeling!
