Trumpeter 05541 1/35 IT-1 Missile Tank - Historical Scale Kit

The Soviet IT-1 missile tank represents an unusual Cold War experiment and is reproduced here in 1/35 scale by Trumpeter. Based on the T-62 hull and fitted with 3M7 Drakon missiles, the real vehicle saw very limited service from 1968 to 1970 owing to a large deadzone and constrained ammunition capacity. This kit aims to capture that rare prototype for model collectors and history-minded builders.

Build Focus: Craft and Finishing

This Trumpeter kit features multi-directional slide-molded components for sharp detail and part accuracy. The set contains over 490 pieces, including a newly tooled upper hull and a finely modelled turret. Careful assembly and finishing will reward builders with an authentic-looking miniature of the original vehicle.

The Trumpeter 05541 kit has a high part count and fine details, so it suits modellers with some experience. Expect multiple subassemblies and careful fitting of slide-mould parts.
The model reproduces the pop-up missile launcher visually. With patient assembly and careful glue work you can show the launcher in a raised or stowed position depending on your display choice.
The kit includes one photo-etched fret to enhance fine elements. It is not mandatory, but using it will improve realism, especially on small external fittings.
