Trumpeter 05547 - 1/35 T-10A Scale Summary

This Trumpeter 05547 kit presents the Soviet T-10A in 1/35 scale, offering sharp mould lines and accurate contouring to reflect the vehicle's heavy armour. The parts set supports a faithful recreation of the tank's distinctive profile.

Historical Background and Model Faithfulness

The T-10A was a development from earlier heavy tanks, designed for improved survivability and firepower. The kit mirrors these characteristics through separately moulded turret sections, hull panels and detailed suspension elements to convey a realistic look.

Assembly Considerations

Constructing this kit benefits from deliberate test-fitting of major components, especially track runs and turret mounts. Modellers often take advantage of seam sanding and pinning techniques to ensure long-term stability of larger assemblies.

Presentation and Collector Value

Finished, the 1/35 T-10A offers a commanding display item that suits cases or shelf arrangements with other Cold War armour. Its scale makes it a good candidate for small dioramas showing period terrain or vehicle interaction.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: PS Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
At minimum you will need sprue cutters, fine files or sandpaper, plastic cement and brushes. A hobby knife and tweezers help with small detail parts and accurate placement.
Modellers sometimes add photo-etch details or metal barrels to improve realism, but the kit offers solid baseline detail and builds well without extra parts.
