Trumpeter 00341 — Finnish T-55 with KMT-5 in 1/35 scale

This 1/35 plastic kit depicts a Finnish Army T-55 equipped with the KMT-5 mine trawl, intended as a display subject for modellers interested in Cold War armored vehicles.

The T-55 was produced in the Soviet Union after World War II and became a widely used main battle tank during the Cold War. Operators often adapted the basic hull for their needs; the KMT-5 mine trawl, from the 1960s, was deployed to clear or detonate antitank mines ahead of the tracks. Finnish service machines were modified with engineering fittings for clearance roles.

The scale kit concentrates on the external detail of the T-55 hull and the KMT-5 assembly. Builders should plan careful assembly and painting to portray the installed engineering gear accurately. Consulting historical photos will help achieve authentic finish and weathering choices. The trawl is shown installed on the kit vehicle rather than as a separate accessory.

A focused 1/35 kit of a T-55 with KMT-5, designed for exhibitors and modellers wanting a convincing Cold War armoured vehicle display.
