Hobby Boss 83843 1/35 Soviet T-35 Multi-Turret Tank Model Kit  [HB-83843]

Building the iconic five-turret T-35 in 1/35 scale

The T-35 heavy tank is an eye-catching piece of Soviet armour history, immediately recognisable by its multiple turrets. It saw limited action in the early stages of the Second World War, where breakdowns and logistical issues reduced its combat impact despite its imposing looks.

Period role and operational notes

Designed in the 1930s as a breakthrough vehicle, the T-35 made a strong impression visually but struggled with field reliability. Many vehicles were lost to mechanical failure rather than direct combat, and the cramped internal layout made long operations difficult for crews.

What the kit includes and builder tips

This Hobby Boss release reproduces the T-35s characteristic features with high part count and precision parts. Expect multi-slide turret mouldings, a detailed lower hull and supplied copper cable and photo-etched items. The kit rewards careful assembly and attention to small details for a convincing finished model.
