Trumpeter 00341: 1/35 Finnish T-55 fitted with KMT-5

This 1/35 plastic model represents a Finnish Army T-55 fitted with the KMT-5 mine trawl, presented as a display subject for hobbyists focused on Cold War armored vehicles.

The T-55 family was developed in the Soviet Union after World War II and saw widespread service during the Cold War. Various operators modified the hull to meet national needs; the KMT-5 mine trawl, introduced in the 1960s, improved mine-clearing capability by detonating or disturbing antitank mines ahead of the tracks. Finnish examples were adapted with engineering fittings for clearance operations.

The kit emphasizes the T-55 hull exterior and the KMT-5 trawl assembly. Accurate assembly and paintwork are required to represent the engineering equipment correctly. Builders are advised to refer to period photographs for finish and weathering to match Finnish service vehicles. The kit is intended for display builds with the trawl shown installed on the vehicle rather than as a separate accessory.

A concentrated 1/35 representation of a T-55 with KMT-5 mine-clearing gear, suitable for modelers wanting a realistic Cold War armored vehicle display.
