Hobby Boss 83825 1/35 Russian T-40 Light Tank Scale Kit  [HB-83825]

Hobby Boss 83825 1/35 Russian T-40 Light Tank Overview

The T-40 light tank represents a notable step in Soviet armored design, and this 1/35 scale Hobby Boss kit recreates those key advances with care. It highlights the torsion-bar suspension and welded hull that set the T-40 apart from earlier T-37 and T-38 designs, making the model a strong pick for collectors and diorama builders interested in World War II Soviet armor.

Background and Modelling Appeal

The T-40 introduced a boat-shaped welded hull for improved protection and used a 12.7mm DShK heavy machine gun, giving it more firepower than the older T-38's 7.62mm DT. The kit comprises over 300 parts, allowing builders to replicate the vehicle's structural and exterior details with good fidelity.

Assembly and Finishing Notes

The kit combines multi-directional slide molded components and etched brass details to deliver fine surface definition. With 182 separate track links, builders should expect a precise, hands-on assembly that rewards careful alignment and tidy finishing for a convincing result.
