Tamiya Military Model Kit
Marder 1A2 (1/35) 35162
This 1/35 scale Tamiya kit recreates the German Marder 1A2, a highly capable Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle (MICV) that entered service in the early 1970s. Designed for both offensive and defensive operations, it provided superior crew protection and mobility compared to previous APC designs.
- Detailed reproduction of the Marder 1A2’s distinctive sloped armour and forward-mounted turret.
- Includes the Milan anti-tank missile system for enhanced firepower.
- Accurate chassis and hull details reflecting Cold War upgrades.
- Faithful representation of the vehicle’s proportions and features based on extensive research.
Powered by a 600hp Mercedes-Benz 6-cylinder diesel engine, the Marder 1A2 could reach speeds of up to 75km/h. Its configuration allowed rapid troop deployment via a rear exit and provided substantial protection from small arms fire and battlefield hazards. Serving NATO forces for decades, the Marder remains a symbol of West German engineering during the Cold War era.
