Description

Plastic tank-recovery accessory set (18 t) in 1:35 scale

Tamiya 35243 is an accessory set that lets you recreate the heavy FAMO half-track tractor in a recovery-vehicle configuration, intended for recovering damaged tanks. The kit includes recovery equipment for towing and lifting heavy loads. The set is dedicated to the FAMO model (Tamiya 35239) and requires it to build the complete vehicle.

What's in the box:

  • Recovery-equipment parts (for towing and recovering tanks)
  • Parts matched to the FAMO tractor model (Tamiya 35239)
  • Illustrated assembly instructions

Model specifications:

  • Scale: 1:35
  • Item number: 35243
  • Manufacturer: Tamiya
  • Type: accessory set

Note: glue, paints and modelling tools are not included. The set is intended for self-assembly and painting.

Building the model:

It is worth cutting the parts carefully from the sprues and dry-fitting them to the FAMO model. The recovery equipment is best painted separately, with the detail emphasised by a wash and pigments imitating rust, grease and grime.

Tools you'll need:

  • Modelling nippers for removing parts from the sprues
  • Hobby knife or scalpel
  • Files and sandpaper for cleaning up the edges
  • Plastic cement (e.g. Tamiya Extra Thin Cement)
  • Brushes and modelling paints (acrylic or enamel)
  • A wash and pigments for weathering effects (dust, rust, streaks)

About the set – tank-recovery equipment:

Recovering damaged or disabled tanks from the battlefield was a key element of armoured-force logistics. The heavy FAMO tractor, equipped with suitable recovery gear, served as a recovery vehicle. The set complements the FAMO model (Tamiya 35239) with the parts needed to recreate this configuration.

About the manufacturer – Tamiya:

Tamiya Corporation is a Japanese model company founded in 1946 in Shizuoka, regarded as the heart of Japan's model-making industry. It launched its first injection-moulded plastic kit in 1960 and soon set a global benchmark for quality thanks to precise tooling and excellent parts fit. The 1:35 Military Miniature series is one of the most highly regarded military model lines in the world. Beyond plastic kits in many scales, the company offers a full range of accessories: paints, glues, tools and brushes. Tamiya operates in dozens of countries and remains one of the most recognisable brands in the hobby.
