The 1/35 range is the heart of the Takom catalogue. Tanks, self-propelled guns, specialist vehicles and support equipment are all covered, with subjects spanning World War I through to the modern era. German armour is particularly well represented, with Panthers, King Tigers, Panzer IIIs and IVs all available, many with full interior detail that reveals the engine, transmission, crew compartment and fighting space once the hatches are opened or the hull is displayed in cutaway form.

Allied subjects are equally impressive. American Shermans, Israeli Merkava tanks, British World War I tanks, and a growing selection of Cold War and modern subjects ensure the range appeals to armour modellers with a wide variety of interests. Unique offerings such as the V-1 flying bomb with interior, battleship turret kits and anti-aircraft gun sets add further variety.

One of Takom's standout features is its commitment to full interior detail. Many of the company's tank and vehicle kits include a complete internal structure – engine, gearbox, crew stations, ammunition stowage and fighting compartment – that can be displayed through open hatches or with a cutaway hull section. This level of detail makes Takom kits particularly rewarding for experienced modellers who enjoy pushing their skills.

The interior parts are well-engineered and designed to be assembled in stages, so the build remains manageable despite the high parts count. Comprehensive instructions guide the modeller through each sub-assembly.

Beyond the core 1/35 range, Takom produces selected subjects in 1/16 and 1/72 scales. The 1/16 kits are large, impressive builds that make for commanding display pieces, while the 1/72 range offers more compact options that are well suited to dioramas and wargaming. Both scales benefit from the same attention to accuracy and detail that defines the 1/35 range.

Takom specialises in plastic model kits of tanks, armoured fighting vehicles and military equipment, primarily in 1/35 scale. The company is particularly known for offering kits with full interior detail, allowing modellers to display the internal workings of the vehicle.

Takom produces kits in 1/16, 1/35 and 1/72 scales. The 1/35 range is the largest and most varied, while 1/16 offers large-scale display builds and 1/72 provides compact options for dioramas and collections.

Takom kits are generally best suited to intermediate and experienced modellers due to their high parts counts and complex interior detail. The Blitz series offers simpler builds at a lower price point that may suit more confident beginners, but the full interior kits are challenging projects.

Both brands produce excellent armour kits. Tamiya is renowned for exceptional part fit and straightforward build engineering. Takom offers more unusual subjects and frequently includes full interior detail, which Tamiya does not typically provide. Many armour modellers build kits from both manufacturers.
