$29.99

Enhance your armored vehicle displays with this exceptionally detailed 1/35 scale 3D printed figure set. This kit features a duo from the Indian Army Armoured Corps during World War II, providing a unique and historically accurate addition to any scale model collection.

  • Era-Specific Uniforms: Both figures are depicted in authentic Indian Army tropical uniforms. One figure wears full-length trousers while the other is dressed in traditional shorts with high socks, reflecting the varied attire found in the field.

  • Specialized Headgear: True to the history of the Indian Armoured Corps, both figures feature meticulously sculpted turbans, a hallmark of many Indian regiments during the conflict.

  • Natural Poses: The set includes a figure checking his wristwatch and another holding a microphone, making them perfect for "on-duty" or communication-themed dioramas.

  • Unrivaled Detail: High-resolution 3D printing brings out fine details in the headsets, webbing, and facial expressions that are often lost in standard plastic kits.

 

 

The Indian Army in WWII

The Indian Army during the Second World War holds the distinction of being the largest volunteer force ever assembled. By the war's conclusion, it had grown from a modest force of roughly 200,000 to over 2.5 million men.

  • Global Service: Indian divisions were instrumental in nearly every major theater of war, serving with distinction in North Africa, Italy, the Middle East, and East Africa.

  • The Burma Campaign: They formed the core of the Allied forces in Southeast Asia, bearing the primary burden of the brutal jungle warfare that eventually defeated Japanese forces in Burma.

  • Exceptional Valor: The bravery of Indian soldiers was recognized globally, with personnel earning 31 Victoria Crosses, the highest military honor in the British Commonwealth.

 

 

The Indian Army Armoured Corps

Formed in 1941 to modernize the traditional Indian Cavalry, the Indian Armoured Corps (IAC) quickly evolved into a formidable mechanized force.

  • From Horses to Tanks: The IAC transitioned legendary cavalry regiments into modern armored units, trading horses for the cutting-edge tanks of the era.

  • Diverse Operations: Indian tankers operated across varied terrains, from the open deserts of the Sahara to the dense, unforgiving jungles of the Arakan.

  • Allied Equipment: The Corps successfully utilized a wide array of Allied armor, including the Stuart light tank for scouting, and the powerful Sherman and Lee/Grant tanks for heavy breakthrough operations in both Italy and Burma.
