Hobby Boss 82494 - 1/35 Soviet T-26 Mod.1931: Modeller Snapshot

The Hobby Boss 82494 presents a compact but detailed 1/35 representation of the Soviet T-26 Light Infantry Tank Mod.1931, aimed at hobbyists who enjoy realistic wartime kits. The moulding emphasises structural elements so builders can reproduce an authentic small-scale version of the original vehicle.

Background and Service Record

Based on British Vickers concepts, the T-26 became widely produced and saw action in several conflicts of the 1930s and early 1940s. The kit mirrors defining aspects such as the turret profile and running gear, helping modellers convey the tank's operational history.

Assembly Tips and Finish

Parts are crisply formed and slot together cleanly with careful preparation. The kit is suitable for weathering and detailing work, making it a solid choice for display on a shelf or as part of a period diorama.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue

Is extra detailing required out of the box?

The kit includes strong baseline detail, but many builders add aftermarket parts or extra scribing to boost realism, especially on tracks and stowage.

Will the supplied decals fit common paint schemes?

Decals are tailored for period markings and align with typical T-26 patterns; rinse and use decal softener for a painted-on look over textured surfaces.

Can this model be used in a small diorama?

Absolutely. The 1/35 scale suits vignette scenes and makes it straightforward to add figures, terrain and weathering for context.
