Tamiya 1/35 Military - 1/35 U.S. Mortar Carrier M21 - 35083 (PRE-ORDER)

Expected May/June 2026

The M21 mortar carrier emerged from decades of half-track experimentation by US military engineers, becoming an official platform in June 1943. This versatile vehicle mounted a traversable mortar frame with sixty degrees of left and right movement, complemented by a 12.7mm heavy machine gun, bazooka mounts, mine racks, and additional armament options that made it a formidable support asset throughout its operational service.

Tamiya 1/35 military model kits are widely respected for their precise engineering, reliable fit and consistent level of detail. The range covers a broad selection of military vehicles, artillery and support equipment, all reproduced with accurate proportions and crisp surface textures. Hulls, turrets and structural components are cleanly moulded with clearly defined panel lines, tools and fittings that capture the character of the original machines.

These kits are designed with straightforward assembly in mind, using well planned parts breakdown and clear instructions to guide the build. Many releases also include crew figures, stowage items and detailed accessories that enhance the finished model. With high quality decal sheets and thoughtfully engineered components, Tamiya 1/35 military kits provide an enjoyable building experience and a strong foundation for both out of the box builds and advanced detailing work.
