TKM2028 - Takom - 1/35 Chieftain Mk.10 MBT 

The Takom 2028 1/35 Chieftain Mk.10 MBT is a highly detailed plastic model kit of the British Army’s late Cold War main battle tank, representing one of the most advanced production variants of the legendary FV4201 Chieftain series. The Mk.10 version features significant upgrades over earlier marks, including the Stillbrew composite armor package, improved fire control equipment, and enhanced survivability modifications that extended the Chieftain’s frontline service life during the 1980s and early 1990s.

As the backbone of Britain’s armoured forces during the Cold War, the Chieftain Mk.10 served extensively with BAOR (British Army of the Rhine) in Germany, where it was designed to counter Warsaw Pact armored threats. Its distinctive low silhouette, heavily armored turret, and powerful 120mm L11 rifled gun made it one of the most formidable NATO tanks of its era.

Takom’s kit is well known for its crisp molding, accurate surface textures, and detailed representation of British armor engineering. It typically includes link-and-length tracks, finely detailed suspension, optional open/closed hatches, a detailed turret interior layout, and photo-etched parts for added realism. The kit also provides multiple marking options representing BAOR units and training vehicles.
