Hobby Boss 83873 - 1/35 Soviet T-18 Light Tank MOD1927: Modellers Note

The Hobby Boss 83873 1/35 T-18 kit recreates the MOD1927 variant of this early Soviet light tank, capturing the essential layout and form. The scale model emphasises the engineering traits of the era and suits hobbyists focused on historical accuracy.

Historical Summary and Appeal

Known in some sources as the MS-1, the T-18 was the Soviet Union's first domestically produced tank to reach series production. This kit gives a clear view of the vehicle's layout and offers a useful reference for those studying early armoured development.

Construction Experience and Finish

The components are crisply moulded and need precise assembly and finishing, so modellers with a bit of practice will get the most from the kit. The completed model makes a compact display piece and illustrates the modest proportions of 1920s tank design.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
  • Parts Count: Detailed components
This kit suits intermediate modellers who are comfortable with small parts and accurate gluing. Beginners can attempt it but should expect a steeper learning curve.
The kit is complete as supplied, but some builders opt for photo-etched detail sets or metal tow cables to sharpen fine elements and enhance realism.
Start with subtle washes and dry brushing to bring out rivets and panel lines, then add light chipping and dust to reflect operational wear without overdoing it.
