Tamiya 35327 - 1/35 BT-7 Tank Model 1937 Summary

This 1/35 scale representation of the BT-7 Tank captures a key example of 1930s Soviet armour. The BT-7, developed from earlier Christie concepts, was prized for its mobility and mounted a 47mm gun with a notably sloped front section that influenced later designs. The kit recreates those defining shapes for accurate display builds.

Build fidelity and historical notes for modellers

Tamiya focuses on faithful contours and practical assembly. The model reproduces the distinctive wedge-like front, oversized road wheels and turret silhouette with fine moulding. Suspension parts and track pieces are engineered to reduce fiddly steps while still delivering a convincing finished look for collectors and hobbyists.

  • Clean suspension detail and single-piece straight track sections

Beginners can attempt it but should be comfortable with cutting, sanding and using small photo-etch parts. Starting with basic paints and simpler sub-assemblies helps build confidence.
Yes, the two crew figures are modelled to match the 1/35 scale and can be posed on the hull or in the turret if you modify the openings carefully.
Dry-fit the straight track pieces first, clean mould lines thoroughly and use a fine file to ensure even joins. Test-fit the suspension before final gluing to keep alignment true.
