Emblematic scale tank models of the Great War
Discover the famous Schneider tank model, which was the first French tank made to destroy the barbed wire fences and open the path to the infantry. This tank comes in a 1:35 scale and contains 380 pieces with a lot of details, and is equipped with a multidirectional turret and individual tracks to assemble.
Scientific MHD offers hundreds of these emblematic tank models and they are divided into groups according to their scale (from 1:16 to 1:72). We have over 800 tanks from many countries and eras, so take a step back in history through the 20th century and discover the many pages dedicated to this military model.
You’ll find a large selection of f from the Second World War period. From Wehrmacht tanks, including the Panther, developed in 1941 that was created in response to Russian innovations, to the Tiger, the most feared tank at the time. These two famous vehicles are available on our website in different scales so you can choose the size that best fits your needs. Build the M3, (nicknamed Lee or Grant by the British in the 1940s) that was used by the Allies after the Americans realised their tanks in service were no longer suitable.
Model Tanks and the search for authenticity
To make sure your model corresponds to the period in which it existed, we would suggest referring to the guides provided with your model tank. This includes the colours you can apply to it once it is assembled. Scientific MHD stocks over 150 acrylic colours to provide you with only the best in model making. Although all colours are available, you may wish to concentrate on those that suit your tank. For example, lots of different green and grey tones and also various shades of brown will be needed for the sandblasted effects. We even provide acrylic camouflage paints (olive-green, dark earth, very dark sea grey) to render your tank even more authentic.
LifeColor paints are known for their high coverage, although two coats may be necessary in some places to really enhance your work. Finally, you can also find sets of paints based on specific themes to really help you produce something that looks like the original. Paint your Italian WW2 tank or British WW2 infantry uniforms with the corresponding preselected paint set and marvel at the results.
