Takom is a highly regarded manufacturer of injection-molded plastic scale model kits, founded in Hong Kong in 2013 and now operating manufacturing facilities in Dongguan, China. The company has earned a strong international following for producing exceptionally detailed and innovative kits, with a particular emphasis on tanks, armored fighting vehicles, artillery, military equipment, aircraft, and naval subjects from World War I through World War II, the Cold War, and the modern era. Takom is especially well known for its extensive 1/35-scale armor range, including subjects such as Tiger and Panther variants, Chieftains, Merkavas, Shermans, and modern fighting vehicles, while also producing kits in scales including 1/16, 1/32, 1/72, 1/144, and 1/350. Many Takom releases feature sophisticated engineering and extensive detailing, including complete vehicle interiors, workable track systems, photo-etched components, metal parts, and highly detailed weapons and equipment, giving experienced builders opportunities to create exceptionally realistic models. The company works with a worldwide network of research consultants who provide reference photographs, field measurements, and historical documentation to improve the accuracy of its subjects. Known for tackling both famous vehicles and unusual subjects that have traditionally been underserved by other manufacturers, Takom combines historical research, modern tooling technology, fine surface detail, and ambitious kit design, making it a respected and popular brand among armor and military modelers around the world.
