Hobby Boss 1/35 Soviet T-20 Komsomolets 1940 Summary

The T-20 Armored Tractor, or Komsomolets, provided small unit mobility and artillery towing in the early stages of World War II. Hobby Boss captures the 1940 variant in 1/35 scale, emphasising the vehicle's compact armored shape and functional rear deck.

Assembly Notes and Presentation

Modellers will find the kit engaging thanks to detailed moulding and practical subassemblies that replicate the Komsomolets' armored cab and crew area. Finished builds work well as standalone display pieces or integrated into small-scale battlefield scenes.

Development and Operational Use

Introduced in the late 1930s, the T-20 was used to tow light guns and move personnel, supporting mechanised formations. This model lets enthusiasts examine construction features and the vehicle's wartime utility.
