Tamiya made a set of good farm animals but I think they are oop. They do show up on Ebay occasionally.

here is a link to a online shop that has the livestock kit listed for sale but you would prob have to contact them to make sure they have it in stock as its a discontinued kit. of course there might be a re-release out there too..

BTW if you want to do your own websearch the item is Tamiya's Livestock set Kit # 35128 and contains 1 donkey, 1 german shepard, 1 sow (pig) and 3 piglets, 2 geese, 4 chickens and 3 chicks, eggs, 1 cat and 2 rabbits.

Cows will have to be resin I think. ADV/Azimut or Model Victoria? Might get lucky and find one or two in a playset or maybe ceramic knick-knack rendition.Christmas decorations?Wild West stuff?
Good luck

Believe it oe not, the plastic farm animal playsets that can be found at any toy stor are about 1/35 scale. They actually pook great once cleaned up and painted. I have used them before in dios.

The Tamiya is still in production I believe and quite good. Verlinden also makes some animals (I believe cows and pigs.)>

The Tamiya set are also do out in predone.ie painted.Don't remember were I saw them.

Kind of off topic, but I just don't get the premade/prepainted Tamiya Finished kits. Why would a modeler want to buy one? Kinda defeats the purpose of being a modeler. I guess they are geared toward collectors or somebody else. The prices are pretty nuts though.

Hi!
Tamiya has reissued their "Livestock set" this year. It's in their catalogue for 2005, so there should be a fair chance to get some animals in plastic. Verlinden has a couple of cows and horses, and I believe Custom Dioramcis even have some rats.

I find it hard to find animals suitable for 1/35, or even 1/32. They are either to big, clumsy or looks more like animals with mad-cow-disease. Thats just my opnion.

Anyway, happy modelling, and good luck with the animals

MK35 editions makes several sets of farm animals.
www.mk35.com
Their new site is under construction, but you can visit their older site to see what the products look like. They seem to make at least chickens & rabbits set. I remember also seeing cows by MK35. They were in natural poses. Eating grass etc. Definitely no signs of mad cow disease.

MK35? That's them! Try R&J Productions That's where I saw them.
Good luck.
