Hobby Boss 82495 - 1/35 Soviet T-26 Light Infantry Tank Model 1933 Historical Build  [HB-82495]

Hobby Boss 1/35 Soviet T-26 Light Infantry Tank Mod.1933 Introduction

The Hobby Boss 1/35 T-26 Mod.1933 kit lets modellers recreate a notable Soviet light tank with a focus on period detail. The T-26 is notable for its riveted construction and twin turrets, and this kit reproduces those features cleanly. It is a fitting addition for anyone assembling a collection of 20th century armoured vehicles.

Historical Context and Detail Work

Serving prominently in the interwar years and early large scale conflicts, the T-26 grew from a Vickers design into a distinctly Soviet vehicle. This kit mirrors the changes in hull and turret styling, and includes surface detail that supports realistic paint and weathering work at 1/35 scale.

Modeling Experience

Completing the kit benefits from methodical construction. Small components and close-tolerance joins call for steady assembly techniques and patience with painting. Modellers who relish detailing and finishing will find the kit rewarding.

Presentation and Finishing Tips

A completed model makes a convincing display piece beside other contemporary subjects. Consider layering washes and selective chipping to suggest battlefield wear. A simple base or vignette will add context and draw attention to the model's features.
