This 1/35 scale Tamiya model recreates the Russian BT-7 Tank, Model 1937, offering a clear look at an influential prewar design. Originating from 1935 with roots in Walter Christies work, the BT-7 earned the nickname Bystrokhodny Tank or Fast Tank thanks to its speed and relatively light armour. The model highlights the 47mm main gun and early sloped front plating that foreshadowed later Soviet designs such as the T-34.
The Tamiya kit balances historical detail with buildability. Key features like the angled frontal section, large road wheels and the characteristic turret profile are well modelled. The suspension components and track sections are engineered for neat assembly, making the project rewarding for modellers who value both realism and a logical build sequence.
