1/35 T-80 Soviet Light Tank w/Crew

Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

Although the T-70 light tank was clearly obsolete from the start of the war and failed to make the grade in the three areas that define good tank design (firepower, protection, and mobility), some 8,226 vehicles were produced by October 1943, and the T-70 remained in service until 1948. Not bad for an obsolete tank! The T-70 served with the Russian, Polish, and Czechoslovakian armies. The T-80 was an improved version of the T-70, with a larger two-man turret. The T-80 was produced in very low numbers, as the light tank production was being abandoned.

MiniArt’s T-80 kit is sharply molded in flash-free light gray styrene. Details are crisp, and from all accounts the kit features superb fit and is quite easy to build. Tracks are non-workable injection-molded indy links. Includes clear parts for the light and periscopes. Also includes a full five-member tank crew. No markings are included, as these little guys never got any!
