Trumpeter 00341: 1:35 Finnish T-55 fitted with KMT-5 mine trawl

This 1:35 plastic model kit portrays a Finnish Army T-55 equipped with the KMT-5 mine trawl, aimed at display-orientated modellers of Cold War armour.

The T-55 series originated in the Soviet Union after World War II and became one of the era's most widely produced main battle tanks. Operators adapted the hull for national needs; the KMT-5 mine trawl, appearing in the 1960s, was used to neutralise or disrupt antitank mines in the vehicle's path. Finnish service examples were fitted with engineered attachments for clearance tasks.

The kit centres on external hull detail and the KMT-5 trawl unit. It calls for careful assembly and painting to render the engineering equipment accurately. Modellers should consult period reference photos to reproduce appropriate finishes and wear. The subject is best built with the trawl installed as shown, rather than as an independent accessory.
