Hobby Boss HB-83842 1/35 Soviet T-35 Heavy Tank Kit  [HB-83842]

Unique Five-Turret T-35 in 1/35 Scale

The Soviet T-35 is notable in armour history for its five-turret layout and imposing silhouette. While mechanically cumbersome in service, the vehicle makes a fascinating subject for scale modelling, and this 1/35 representation highlights the tank's distinctive forms and complex superstructure.

Origins and Modelling Interest

Developed during the interwar years as a show of force, the T-35 emphasised size and firepower over mobility. Many were lost from mechanical failures rather than battle, and assembling this kit gives builders insight into the engineering compromises of the era.

What the Kit Includes and Build Notes

The kit contains over 630 parts with multi-slide moulded components to reproduce turret and hull shapes accurately. Two photo-etched sheets are supplied to lift fine details, and the parts layout across the sprues aims to make the assembly logical for experienced modellers.
