Academy 1:35 - T-34/76 No. 183 Factory Production - Plastic Model Kit #13505
The Soviet medium tank T-34 was the most produced tank of WWII that replaced many light and medium tanks in service with the Red Army. The initial version of the T-34 was equipped with a powerful 76.2 mm gun, and is often called the T-34/76.
Most of these tanks were produced at Factory No.183 which in September 1941 was evacuated from its original location in Kharkiv to Nizhniy Tagil when it became clear that Kharkiv was in danger of falling to the Germans. Factory No.183 in Nizhniy Tagil (Uralskiy Tankovyj Zavod, Ural Tank Factory) produced just over 15 thousand of the T-34/76 tanks. By the end of WWII, T-34's comprised at least 55% of the Soviet tank production. In the beginning of the war this figure was 4%.
When Germany launched the invasion of the Soviet Union, the T-34 was superior to any German tank and destroying T-34's in combat proved to be very difficult. However, the Red Army had still lost large numbers of these new tanks in 1941 due to the tactical and operational skills of the Germans as well as mechanical breakdowns which accounted for at least 50% of Soviet tank losses at the time. In the following years the T-34 saw a number of improvements while Germany continued to develop anti-tank guns capable of penetrating the T-34's armour. By 1943, the 76.2 mm gun was unable to penetrate the armour of the new German tanks and the Soviet Union began the production of the improved version of the T-34, the T-34/85.

Academy 1:35 - T-34/85 No. 112 Factory Production
£33.00 GBP
Academy 1:35 - T-34/85 Factory Production Version - Plastic Model Kit #13290
Perfect as a Berlin Assault tank or a Korean War unit. The T-34/85 entered production in 1944 as an improvement over the T-34/76. It featured heavier armour to withstand the increased firepower of the latest German tanks, a larger turret to house the new 85mm S-53 main gun, and internal stowage for 56 rounds of ammunition. The T34/85 was also equipped with 2x 7.62mm machine guns. Powered by a 12 cylinder diesel engine, the T-34/85 could move at speeds of up to 55 kph.
The T-34 was a Soviet medium tank that is generally considered as having had significant impact on tank design and development. The T-34 is often credited as the most effective, efficient and influential tank design of the Second World War. At the time of it's initial deployment he T-34 had an impressive combination of armament, speed, armour and toughness. The T-34 was armed primarily with a 76.2 mm (3 in) high-velocity gun which provided a substantial increase in firepower over any of its contemporaries; its heavy sloped armour was difficult to penetrate by most anti-tank weapons of the period. When first encountered in 1941, the German tank general von Kleist called it "the finest tank in the world" and Heinz Guderian confirmed the T-34's "vast superiority" over existing German armour of the time.
The T-34 was the primary vehicle of the Soviet armoured forces throughout World War II. The design allowed it to be constantly refined to meet the changing needs of the Eastern Front conflict: as the war progressed it became more capable, but also quicker and cheaper to produce. The Soviet Union would eventually produce more than 80,000 T-34s (all variants), allowing more and more to be deployed as the war continued despite losing great numbers to the Wehrmacht. The development of the T-34 led directly to the T-54 and T-55 series of tanks, which in turn evolved into the T-62, T-72, and T-90 that form the armoured mainstay of many modern armies. T-34 variants were widely exported after World War II and up to 1996 were still in service in at least 27 countries.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - Soviet T-37B Amphibious Light Tank
£27.00 GBP
In the early 1930's engineers were concerned about the downfalls of the tanks produced at that time: the tracks became damaged extremely fast during long off-road driving and destroyed roadbeds. Fully-tracked tanks also moved rather slowly which made their transportation unbearable.
The solution seemed to be wheeled caterpillar tanks that were supposed to use wheels when driving along public roads, and tracks in off-road environments. In the Soviet Union the idea was realised in 1935 when the T-37B prototype was built and tested. However, it showed poor performance and revealed a number of irreparable defects. Consequently, the T-37B was never used in combat.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Russian T-50 Infantry Tank
Sold Out
The T-50 was a Soviet light tank developed in 1939 for the needs of the Red Army. After the Spanish Civil War it became obvious that the Soviet tank fleet consisted mostly of modified versions of foreign vehicles required an upgrade. The T-50 was planned to replace the T-26 light infantry tank which was a Soviet redesign of the British Vickers Mark E.
The production of the T-50 began shortly after the German attack on the USSR in June 1941. A torsion-spring suspension, a diesel engine, and a good slope of armour made the tank one of the most advanced Soviet designs of that time. One more advantage of the T-50 was a commander's cupola used in Soviet tanks for the first time (instead of panoramic periscopes). Similar to Soviet medium and heavy tanks, the T-50 also had a three-man turret.
However, despite of its remarkable design, the T-50 never entered mass-production due to a number of technical problems. One of the problems was the tank's new diesel engine which was proved unreliable and expensive to produce. Only 69 units of the T-50 were completed. Later the Red Army rejected the concept of light infantry tanks replacing them with cheaper SU-76 self-propelled guns and more efficient T-34 medium tanks.
Several T-50 tanks saw action on the Leningrad front. One unit was taken over by Finnish troops and now is displayed in Finland.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Russian ZIS-5 Truck
£34.00 GBP
The ZIS-5 was a 4x2 Soviet truck that originated from the AMO-2 series. Its mass production started in 1933 at Moscow ZIS factory (ZIS - "Zavod Imeni Stalina" or Plant of Stalin's Name) and lasted long after the war.
The truck instantly became one of the most widely used vehicles of next two decades. Due to its high reliability and simple construction it gained popularity with Soviet troops in wartime: at the outbreak of Operation Barbarossa up to 100 thousand ZIS-5's were in service with the Red Army. During the war the ZIS-5 was deployed as both a cargo vehicle and a light artillery tractor. It was also used to transport soldiers and military supplies to the front lines.
The ZIS-5 was the second most used army truck of the early war period, surpassed only by the GAZ-AA. It played a great role in supplying provisions to Leningrad during the Blockade. The ZIS-5 was also the first Soviet truck consigned for export to such countries as Turkey, Afghanistan, Iraq, Spain, China, Romania and others.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet BA-20M Armoured Car
£29.00 GBP
The BA-20 Soviet armoured car was developed in 1934. Its full production started in 1935 and ran until the first months of 1942. In the early stages of WWII the car was used mainly as a scout vehicle.
The crew consisted of two people - a driver and a commander (gunner). The vehicle's tyres were resistant to bullets and it was the first armoured car produced by the Soviet Union that had an escape hatch in the floor between the chassis legs. The BA-20M was an improved version of the BA-20: command vehicles of this type had a whip antenna as opposed to the clothes-rail antenna on the command versions of the BA-20.
The BA-20M armoured car was deployed during the Battles of Khalkhyn Gol in 1939, the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, the Winter War between the Soviet Union and Finland in 1939-1940, and the annexation of the Baltic Republics - Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in 1940. The BA-20 then saw combat during the early phases of the Great Patriotic War. Some vehicles were captured by the German army and were designated Panzerspahwagen BA-202 (r).

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet KrAZ-255B
£53.00 GBP
The Soviet truck KrAZ-255B entered production in 1965, and full series production started in 1967. KrAZ stood for Kremenchutskyi Avtomobilnyi Zavod (Kremenchuk Automobile Plant), a Ukrainian factory which produced these trucks. The KrAZ-255B had a revised braking system and was intended to replace the earlier KrAZ-214 truck. It had some visual similarities with the earlier KrAZ-214 but had a more powerful engine. Other design improvements included a hydraulic steering booster instead of the pneumatic booster of the KrAZ-214, and the standard 14.00-20 tyres of the KrAZ-214 were substituted by the new wide section pressure adjustable tires with a centralised tire inflation system controlled by the driver directly from the cab. In 1976 the KrAZ-255B was equipped with a new dual-circuit braking system to replace the single circuit system, and such vehicles were given the revised KrAZ-255B (B1) designation. Overall from 1967 till 1994 around 82,000 KrAZ-255B's were produced.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet OT-130 Flame Thrower Tank
£30.00 GBP
The T-26 was a Soviet light infantry tank based on the British Vickers 6-Ton tank designed by the Vickers-Armstrongs company in 1928-1929. The T-26 was one of the most successful tanks of its time. More than 11,000 T-26's were manufactured in the 1930s. The USSR developed more than 50 different variants and experimental vehicles based on the T-26 chassis, with 23 variants going into series production. One of them was the OT-130 (KhT-130), a flamethrower tank with a 45mm gun turret. Around 12% of all T-26 light tanks were flame-throwing tanks.
The abbreviation "OT" (Ognemetniy Tank, Flame-throwing Tank) was adopted only in the post-war period. Initially these tanks were called "KhT" (Khimicheskiy Tank, Chemical Tank) and were intended for chemical contamination, creating smoke screens and flame throwing.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet T-18 Light Tank MOD1927
Sold Out
The T-18 was the first light tank developed in the Soviet Union. Its design was based on the French Renault FT and improved by addition of a vertically sprung suspension to increase the tank speed over rough terrains. The T-18 was also called MS-1, an abbreviation of "Maliy Soprovozhdeniya, Perviy" meaning "Support vehicle, small, type 1".
The first prototype was built in 1927. Designated the T-16, it was powered by a 35 hp truck engine and armed with a 37 mm gun, a modification of the French Puteaux SA 18 cannon. Unable to overcome trenches wider than 1.5 m, the T-16 was replaced by the T-18 which entered production in 1928.
The T-18 was considered an improvement over both the T-16 and the Renault FT. Its armament consisted of a French 37 mm Model 28 cannon and a double-barrelled 6.5 mm Fyodorov machine gun. Overall ammunition included 104 x 37 mm shells and 2,016 x 6.5 mm cartridges. The turret was protected with 8 mm curved plates and a 3 mm mushroom-style cap. The hull armour was 16 mm thick and 3 mm plates were used on the bottom of the tank. The maximum road speed was 18 km/h. However, the T-18 still had problems with crossing trenches and ditches more than 2 m wide and 1.2 m deep.
T-18 tanks were used in service during the Sino-Soviet conflict of 1929. When Germany attacked the Soviet Union in 1940, several T-18s were renewed with 45 mm guns and renamed the T-18M to take part in combat. Despite of the fact that the T-18 design was proved unsuccessful, it was the first step towards more advanced Soviet armoured vehicles.

£27.00 GBP
The T-20 Komsomolets was a Soviet artillery tractor used by the Red Army during the Winter War and the Second World War. Developed at the Ordzhonikidze Moscow Plant no.37, the tractor was produced between 1936 and 1941 and over 4,000 units were built during that period.
The T-20 was intended to tow artillery-type weapons including the 45 mm anti-tank gun and the M1938 120 mm mortar. It also carried a small quantity of ammunition supplies and up to six crew members. The driver and the commander sit in the forward compartment armoured with a Degtyaryov machine gun. The rear compartment had room for the rest of the crew seated back-to-back. A canvas top could be raised in case of bad weather conditions.
During Operation Barbarossa some T-20s served as combat vehicles, however after 1941 they were deployed only as armoured tractors.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet T-24 Medium Tank
£35.00 GBP
The T-24 was a Soviet medium tank produced at the KhPZ factory (Kharkiv Locomotive Factory, Ukraine) in 1931. It had a 45mm main gun, a ball-mount 7.62mm DT machine gun in the hull, and two more guns in the turret and in the secondary turret. The vehicle was considered well-armoured for its time, but it had problems with the engine and transmission. Due to these problems the T-24 was found unreliable. Only 24 tanks were built, and they were used only for training and parades. However, this failure gave the KhPZ factory production experience which was applied later in adopting production of the U.S. Christie tank as the BT tank series.

The USSR developed more than 50 different variants and experimental vehicles based on the T-26 chassis, with 23 variants going into series production.
The T-26 was used by the Red Army since 1932. It saw combat in many conflicts of the 1930s and during the Second World War. Along with the BT, the T-26 was considered the main tank of the Red Army during the interwar period. The T-26 saw action in the Spanish Civil War, the Soviet-Japanese border conflict, and the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939. In 1941 it could withstand most German tanks, but was inferior to the Panzer III and Panzer IV participating in Operation Barbarossa. The T-26 was then gradually replaced by the superior T-34. The remaining T-26's participated in the Battle of Moscow, the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of the Caucasus.

HobbyBoss 1:35 - Soviet T-28 Medium Tank (Early) - Plastic model kit #83851
The Soviet multi-turreted T-28 entered production in 1932. The tank was intended to complement the multi-turreted heavy T-35 and break through fortified defences. The design was similar to the British Vickers A1E1 Independent tank produced in 1926. It had a large turret with a 76.2mm gun and two smaller ones with 7.62mm machine guns. From 1933 to 1941 the Soviet Union manufactured 503 T-28's. These tanks were in service during the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939 and the Winter War against Finland in 1939–1940. The T-28 was not very successful in combat and had significant flaws, but it did have a number of advanced features for the time and was superior to some of the enemy's tanks. Soviet tank designers incorporated some of the ideas tried out on the T-28 in future models.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet T-28 Medium Tank (Riveted)
£43.00 GBP
The T-28 was a Soviet medium multi-turret tank designed as a support to the T-35 heavy tank against deliberate defences. The Kirov Factory began T-28 production in 1932 which made it one of the first medium tanks in the world.
The T-28 had one large turret and two smaller ones with a 7.62 mm machine gun mounted on each. The multi-turret design was adopted from the British Vickers A1E1 Independent tank.
The T-28 saw action during the Soviet military operation in Poland in 1939 and during the conflict between the USSR and Finland in 1939-1940 (known as the Winter War). At the beginning of the Winter War it became clear that the T-28 armour was too thin, later it was thickened up to 80 mm on the front and up to 40 mm on the sides and rear.
Eventually, the T-28 proved unsuccessful on the battlefield, but still it was important in regard to the development of future series.

£43.00 GBP
HobbyBoss 1:35 - Soviet T-28E Medium Tank - Plastic model kit #83854
The Soviet multi-turreted T-28 entered production in 1932. The tank was intended to complement the multi-turreted heavy T-35 and break through fortified defences. The design was similar to the British Vickers A1E1 Independent tank produced in 1926. It had a large turret with a 76.2mm gun and two smaller ones with 7.62mm machine guns. From 1933 to 1941 the Soviet Union manufactured 503 T-28's. These tanks were in service during the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939 and the Winter War against Finland in 1939–1940.
The T-28 was not very successful in combat and had significant flaws, but it did have a number of advanced features for the time and was superior to some enemy tanks. Soviet tank designers incorporated some of the ideas tried out on the T-28 in future models.
The T-28E was one of the T-28 versions. Its armour was improved, however it resulted in increased weight and speed reduction.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet T-35 Heavy Tank - Before 1938
£55.00 GBP
In the 1920s and 1930s several European armies favoured the concept of large, multi-turreted tanks. Designs for such tanks existed in Britain, France, and Germany. However, it was the Soviet T-35 that became the only five-turreted heavy tank in the world to reach production. The T-35 was a heavy tank of the interwar period and early World War II. The tank was large, but inside spaces were cramped with the fighting compartments separated from each other. The T-35 turned out to be slow and mechanically unreliable, and during Operation Barbarossa 90% of the T-35's were lost due to mechanical failures rather than enemy actions. From 1935 till 1940 the T-35 was used primarily for parade duties.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet T-35 Heavy Tank - Late
£60.00 GBP
The Soviet T-35 was a multi-turreted heavy tank of the interwar period and early WWII that saw limited production and service with the Red Army. The T-35 was the only five-turreted heavy tank in the world to reach production; however it proved to be slow and mechanically unreliable. Most of the T-35's which were still operational at the time of Operation Barbarossa were lost due to mechanical failure rather than enemy action. The main turret was equipped with a KT-28 cannon also used on the Т-28 medium tank. The the 7.62mm DT machine gun was an auxiliary weapon in the main turret. The tank was large, but on the inside the spaces were cramped with the fighting compartments separated from each other. Some of the turrets obscured the entrance hatches.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet T-37 Amphibious Light Tank - Early
£27.00 GBP
The T-37, a Soviet amphibious light tank, was the first series of mass-produced fully amphibious tanks in the world. The design was based on the British Vickers tankette and other operational amphibious tanks. Mass production began in 1933 and ran until 1936, when the T-37 was replaced with the more modern T-38. During the four years of production, the Soviet Union built 2552 T-37's.
The Red Army used this tank for communication, reconnaissance, and defense purposes, as well as for infantry support on the battlefield. The T-37 was used during the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, in the Winter War against Finland (1939–1940), and in the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. Some T-37's fought on the front lines until 1944.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet T-37 Amphibious Tank
£27.00 GBP
The T-37A, a Soviet amphibious light tank, was the first mass-produced fully amphibious tank in the world. The T-37A was based on the British Vickers tankette, and entered production in 1932. The Red Army used these tanks for communication, reconnaissance, and defense purposes. The T-37A tank was deployed during the Soviet invasion of Poland, the Winter War and in the beginning of the Second World War. Subsequently the configuration of the tank borrowed from its British prototype became a standard in Soviet amphibious tanks of the 1930s. The T-37 tank was put out of service in 1936 and replaced with the more advanced T-38 series.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet T-38 Amphibious Light Tank
£27.00 GBP
The T-38 was a Soviet amphibious light tank of the Second World War period. An improved version of the T-37A light tank, the T-38 was produced from 1936 till 1939. 1,228 tanks were built in 1936-1937, and another 112 - in 1939.
Trials showed that the T-37A had a limited range and unreliable transmission and running gear, which could cause its tracks to fall off while on the move. An improved version of this tank - the T-38 - was supposed to fix these flaws. The turret was moved from the right-hand side of the tank to the left, which switched the driver and commander positions. The T-38 was armed with a 7.62mm DT machine gun.
The tank was designed for reconnaissance and infantry support. Due to its ability to swim, it had a good long-range mobility. It was also intended to be air-portable; in 1936 the T-38's were mounted under the fuselage and transported by Tupolev TB-3 bombers during the Kiev maneuvers. However, due to the thin armour and a single machinegun, the T-38's use in combat was limited. It was also incapable of carrying the weight of two infantrymen while floating; overloads of 120-150kg would sink the vehicle.
The Red Army used the T-38 in 1940, during the Winter War with Finland. Its armament and thin armour made the tank unsuccessful; it was easily penetrated by the fire of rifles and light machine guns. The Germans captured large numbers of T-38's during Operation Barbarossa. During WWII, the main amphibious scout vehicle of the Soviet Union was the U.S. Ford GPA amphibious jeep provided through Lend-Lease.

HobbyBoss 1:35 Soviet T-40 Light Tank
£27.00 GBP
The T-40 was a Soviet amphibious light tank of the Second World War which could ford a river without a bridge. It was an improvement over the T-37 and T-38, and had a 12.7mm (0.5 in) DShK machine gun instead of the 7.62mm DT machine gun mounted on the T-37 and T-38. The boat-shaped hull was entirely welded, in contrast to the riveted hulls of the T-37 and T-38.
In the 1930s the Soviet Union produced over 1,500 amphibious tanks. Although the T-40 had a superior design compared to the T-37 and T-38, the USSR favoured simpler tank designs due to the pressures of war. Only 222 T-40's were produced.

Meng Model 1:35 - Soviet T-10M Heavy Tank
£58.00 GBP
Meng Model 1:35 - Soviet T-10M Heavy Tank - Plastic model kit #TS-018
With the start of the Cold War in the late 1940's the Soviets made a decision to bring into development the IS series of heavy tanks (IS - "Iosif Stalin", Russian for "Joseph Stalin"). Based on the IS-3 model, the first prototypes were designated IS-8 and IS-9. In 1952 the new vehicle was put into production under the name IS-10, however with the beginning of the de-Stalinization period following Stalin's death in 1953 it was renamed the T-10.
The T-10 adopted many features of the earlier IS models, e.g. it was armed with an enhanced 122 mm gun M1931/37 from the IS-2 and IS-3 tanks. The main improvements of the T-10 consisted of a larger turret mount, a better diesel engine, thicker armour and a hull extended to fit an engine cooling system. Also, the T-10 had seven pairs of road wheels unlike the IS-3 which had only six. In general, the T-10 showed similar performance as the IS-3, however it had more room for ammunition. In combat T-10 tanks were mainly used as a support to infantry troops and during breakthrough operations.
The T-10M was an upgraded version of the T-10 which entered production in 1957 at both the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant and the Kirov Plant. The major difference concerned the armament of the tank: the new M-62-TS gun was longer than the previous M1931/37 and featured a unique multi-slotted muzzle brake (a device that reduces recoil of the gun) as well as a fume extractor (a device on the gun barrel that prevents toxic gases from getting inside the vehicle's fighting compartment).
The development of more powerful engines, better suspension systems and light composite armour made it possible to increase tank firepower, armour protection and mobility. These developments allowed for replacing heavy tanks with lighter medium tanks. The T-10 was phased out in the 1960's and, along with the rest of the Soviet heavy tanks, replaced with the T-64, T-72, T-80 and other medium tanks.

In 1932, under the agreement with the Ford Motor Company a Soviet automobile-manufacturing plant located in Nizhny Novgorod developed its first two vehicles - Ford Model A and Ford Model AA. They were sold as NAZ-A and NAZ-AA respectively. In 1933, the plant was renamed from NAZ (Nizhegorodsky Avtomobilny Zavod, 'Nizhny Novgorod Automobile Plant') to GAZ (Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod, 'Gorky Automobile Plant'). The vehicles' names were then changed to GAZ-A and GAZ-AA.
The 3-axle GAZ-AAA 6x4 truck was a successor of the 2-axle GAZ-AA. Its production ran from 1934 until 1943. Compared to the GAZ-AA, this vehicle was slightly slower and heavier, but its load capacity increased from 1.5 to 2 tons.
