Hobby Boss 1/35 Soviet T-37A Light Tank: Scale History in Detail

The T-37A occupies a notable spot in interwar military development as the first widely produced amphibious tank. Developed from the Vickers tankette idea in 1932, it took part in early Soviet operations including the invasion of Poland and saw service in the Winter War. While superseded in frontline combat, it served in support and training roles during World War II.

Hobby Boss presents the T-37A as a 1/35 scale kit that emphasises authentic shapes and fittings, making it a rewarding project for modellers who prioritise historical correctness and fine detail.

Key Modelling Features

This kit contains in excess of 320 pieces, incorporating photo-etched components and individually moulded track links to recreate surface detail accurately. The use of multi-directional slide moulds on the turret and lower hull helps preserve true lines and authentic proportions.

Collecting and Display Notes

A completed T-37A makes a compact yet informative display piece, representing a curious chapter of Soviet armour development. It fits well into themed displays or dioramas centred on early WWII actions.

This kit is best suited to intermediate and advanced modellers due to the number of small parts and the photo-etched components. Novices may find the assembly demanding.
The kit typically includes decal options for period markings. Check the box contents and instructions to confirm available schemes before starting the paintwork.
Work in stages, test-fit parts before gluing and use subtle weathering techniques to bring out the details. Individual track links reward careful assembly with an authentic appearance.
