Why this kit matters
The T29E3 Heavy Tank was developed by the United States in the final years of World War II and into the immediate post-war period as part of the heavy tank programme to counter formidable Soviet armour.
In the world of scale modelling, heavy tank kits of this scale and detail are rarer than mainstream medium tanks. Building this 1:35 large model offers both a challenge and a significant display impact, making it a perfect centrepiece for aficionados of armoured vehicle history and modelling craftsmanship.
How to use it
Begin by carefully checking all 19 sprues, clean and remove excess flash, and prepare sub-assemblies such as hull halves, turret and suspension units. Paint major components before final assembly to avoid hard-to-reach areas. Use modelling glue to join parts, install the detailed suspension and tracks, paint and weather the tank realistically, and then exhibit the finished tank proudly in your collection or diorama.
This is a plastic model kit. Assembly, paint, and glue are required. It is not a toy.
