Hobby Boss 1/35 Soviet T-37A Light Tank: Accurate Historical Replica

The T-37A was notable as an early amphibious design and became the first mass-produced tank capable of water operations. Originating from a Vickers tankette concept in 1932, it saw service in conflicts including the Soviet move into Poland and the Winter War. While its combat effectiveness waned as the war progressed, it remained useful in secondary roles.

Hobby Boss renders this machine in careful 1/35 scale, producing a kit that appeals to modellers who enjoy period-specific detail and authentic profiles. The finished model complements collections focused on early WWII Soviet armour.

Parts, Moulding and Detail

The kit contains more than 320 parts, including etched metal components and separate track links to capture fine detail. Slide-molded elements for the turret and hull maintain accurate curves and fittings, providing a rewarding assembly experience for experienced modellers.

Presentation and Collecting Value

When completed, the model presents well on a shelf or diorama base, reflecting both the builder's skills and the vehicle's historical role. It is a distinctive addition to displays that emphasise Soviet wartime vehicles.
