Hobby Boss 83818 1/35 Soviet T-37 Early Amphibious Light Tank Details

This Hobby Boss 1/35 model presents the early Soviet T-37 amphibious light tank in scale, emphasising its lightweight hull and low profile. It is aimed at modellers who value period accuracy and neat assembly work.

Why the T-37 Matters

The T-37 was one of the Soviet unions early attempts at an amphibious armoured vehicle, used mainly for scouting and river operations. Building the kit gives modellers a hands-on way to study the vehicle's simple but distinctive construction and to practice fine finishing techniques.

Construction Highlights

The kit features well defined parts for the hull, suspension and track sections, allowing careful modellers to achieve crisp panel lines and realistic surface texture. Custom paint schemes and weathering will bring out the tiny details at 1/35 scale.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
Basic modelling tools such as sprue cutters, a hobby knife, sanding sticks and plastic cement are recommended. Fine tweezers and a small drill can help with tiny fittings.
This is a static plastic kit not designed for RC use. Skilled hobbyists could attempt a conversion, but it would require significant modification and additional parts.
Typical finishes include early Soviet olive or khaki tones; references to period photos will help you match regional and wartime variations.
Assembly time varies by experience, but expect several evenings for careful construction and additional time for painting and weathering.
