Hobby Boss 1/35 T-40 Light Tank by Hobby Boss 83825

The Soviet T-40 was a compact yet technically notable light tank, and this 1/35 kit from Hobby Boss reproduces its key engineering traits. The model highlights the improved torsion-bar suspension and welded hull construction that distinguish the T-40 from the earlier amphibious T-37 and T-38 types.

Historical Notes and Modelling Interest

The T-40's boat-shaped welded hull offered better protection, while its 12.7mm DShK heavy machine gun upgraded its combat role compared with the 7.62mm DT on earlier models. With over 300 parts included, this kit provides plenty of detail for modelers wanting an accurate miniature of Soviet wartime armour.

Tips for Building

Precision is rewarded on this kit thanks to multi-directional slide moulded sections and delicate photo-etched components. The individually linked tracks total 182 pieces and are a focal point for builders who enjoy detailed suspension and undercarriage work.
