Takom 2210 – 1/35 M28A1/A2 Super Assault Tank

The Takom M28A1/A2 Super Assault Tank 1/35 kit pushes the concept of heavy armor to the extreme, combining brutal firepower, enormous protection, and an unmistakable futuristic WWII silhouette.

Historical Context & Theme

The M28A1/A2 is a fictional evolution based on the experimental American T28/T95 super-heavy assault vehicle developed near the end of WWII. While the original T28 never entered combat, its extreme design inspired countless “what-if” scenarios imagining how such vehicles could have evolved if the war had continued.

The real T28 was conceived to break through heavily fortified German defensive lines using immense frontal armor and a powerful fixed gun. However, its enormous size and limited mobility made it impractical for actual battlefield deployment. Only two prototypes were built before the project was cancelled after the war.

The fictional M28A1/A2 version expands on that concept with upgraded weaponry and revised equipment layouts, creating a believable alternate-history super assault tank that feels both experimental and intimidating.

This Takom M28A1/A2 Super Assault Tank 1/35 kit captures that atmosphere perfectly, blending real engineering inspiration with speculative late-war armored warfare.

Figure / Vehicle Details & Realism

The Takom M28A1/A2 Super Assault Tank 1/35 kit features a highly detailed representation of this fictional super-heavy vehicle, built around the imposing structure of the original T28 platform.

The kit includes two turned metal gun barrels for different armament configurations, allowing builders to choose between massive 120 mm or 155 mm weapon setups. The huge casemate structure, oversized tracks, and low armored profile immediately dominate the visual appearance of the model.

Takom also includes photo-etched parts, clear components, movable suspension elements, and individual track links for increased realism and display flexibility. The external fuel tanks, side stowage boxes, and transport configuration options further reinforce the impression of a machine built for extreme battlefield conditions.

The Takom M28A1/A2 Super Assault Tank 1/35 kit stands out through its scale, engineering complexity, and unique “what-if” identity.

Diorama & Display Use

Imagine this enormous assault tank slowly advancing through shattered urban ruins or crossing a devastated industrial zone. Infantry moves carefully nearby while the vehicle’s massive gun dominates the horizon.

Even stationary, the M28A1/A2 creates tension and visual weight. Its proportions naturally draw attention and immediately establish the atmosphere of a late-war experimental battlefield.

The Takom M28A1/A2 Super Assault Tank 1/35 kit is ideal for alternate-history WWII dioramas, heavy weathering projects, proving ground displays, or speculative late-war combat scenes.

Placed carefully, it becomes the undeniable centerpiece of the entire composition.

Material & Customization

The kit is produced in high-quality plastic with finely detailed surfaces suitable for advanced painting and weathering techniques. Heavy mud accumulation, worn steel textures, chipped armor, and dust effects work exceptionally well on such a large armored subject.

Customization possibilities are extensive. Builders can emphasize a factory-fresh prototype appearance or create heavily weathered operational “what-if” scenarios inspired by prolonged battlefield use.

The massive surfaces and unusual shape also provide excellent opportunities for advanced shading and modulation effects.

Who It’s For

This kit is designed for modelers interested in experimental armor, alternate-history subjects, and highly distinctive military vehicles. It suits those looking for a large and visually aggressive centerpiece project.

The Takom M28A1/A2 Super Assault Tank 1/35 kit is ideal for intermediate and advanced hobbyists who enjoy complex builds and dramatic display presence.
